Psalms 128

A Song of degrees.

1 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour 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 inner part 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 will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life, 6 And see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

A Song of Ascents.

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.
