Psalms 128

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

1 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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