Psalms 128

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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