Psalms 128

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

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

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

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

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

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

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

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
