Psalm 128:1-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Psalm 128

The Happy Home of the Faithful

A Song of Ascents.

¹Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
²You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.

³Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
⁴Thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.

⁵The Lord bless you from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
