Psalms 128

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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