Psalms 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

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

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to 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] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
