Psalms 128

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see 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.

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

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

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

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