Psalm 128

1 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

5 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, see thou thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

1 How blessed is every one of the Lord’s loyal followers,
each one who keeps his commands!

2 You will eat what you worked so hard to grow.
You will be blessed and secure.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
in the inner rooms of your house;
your children will be like olive branches,
as they sit all around your table.

4 Yes indeed, the man who fears the Lord
will be blessed in this way.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion,
that you might see Jerusalem prosper
all the days of your life,

6 and that you might see your grandchildren.
May Israel experience peace!
