Psalms 128

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

1A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

1 Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.

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

2The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy <FI>art<Fi> thou, and good <FI>is<Fi> to thee.

2You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.

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.

3Thy wife <FI>is<Fi> as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

3Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.

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

4Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

4See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.

5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

5Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

5May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

6And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!

6May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
