Blessing on Those Who Fear God

Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.
Happy is everyone in awe of Adonai,
    who walks in His ways,
for you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be blessed
and it will be good for you.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house.
Your children will be like olive saplings around your table.
Behold, thus will the man be blessed
who fears Adonai.
May Adonai bless you out of Zion,
and may you see Jerusalem in prosperity
    all the days of your life,
and may you live to see your children’s children.

Shalom be upon Israel!

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

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

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

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

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

A song for going up to worship.

128 Blessed are all who fear the Lord
and live his way.

You will certainly eat what your own hands have provided.
Blessings to you!
May things go well for you!
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine inside your home.
Your children will be like young olive trees around your table.
This is how the Lord will bless the person who fears him.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
so that you may see Jerusalem prospering
all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children.

Let there be peace in Israel!

A Song of Ascents

The Blessings of Fearing God

128 How blessed[a] are all who fear the Lord
    as they follow in his ways.
You will eat from the work of your hands;
    you will be happy, and it will go well for you.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;
    your children[b] like olive shoots surrounding your table.
See how the man will be blessed
    who fears the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion,
    and may you observe the prosperity of Jerusalem
        every day that you live!
And may you see your children’s children!
    Peace be on Israel!
