Psalm 128[a]

The Blessed Home of the Just

A song of ascents.

I

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    and who walk in his ways.(A)
What your hands provide you will enjoy;
    you will be blessed and prosper:(B)
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your home,
Your children like young olive plants
    around your table.(C)
Just so will the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.

II

May the Lord bless you from Zion;
    may you see Jerusalem’s prosperity
    all the days of your life,(D)
    and live to see your children’s children.(E)
Peace upon Israel!(F)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 128 A statement that the ever-reliable God will bless the reverent (Ps 128:1). God’s blessing is concrete: satisfaction and prosperity, a fertile spouse and abundant children (Ps 128:2–4). The perspective is that of the adult male, ordinarily the ruler and representative of the household to the community. The last verses extend the blessing to all the people for generations to come (Ps 128:5–6).

敬畏 神的人必享福樂

朝聖之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

128 敬畏耶和華,遵行他的道的人,是有福的。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

你必吃你親手勞碌得來的,

你必享福,事事順利。

你的妻子在你的內室,

好像多結果子的葡萄樹;

你的兒女環繞著你的桌子,

好像橄欖樹的枝條。

看哪!敬畏耶和華的人

必這樣蒙福。

願耶和華從錫安賜福給你;

願你一生一世得見耶路撒冷的繁榮。

願你得見你兒女的兒女。

願平安歸於以色列。
