Psalms 128

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
