Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
