Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

128 (B)Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
    who (C)walks in his ways!
You (D)shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
    you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
Your wife will be like (E)a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like (F)olive shoots
    round your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.
(G)The Lord bless you (H)from Zion!
    May you see (I)the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life!
May you see your (J)children's children!
    (K)Peace be upon Israel!

Blessedness of the fear of Jehovah.

A Song of Ascents.

128 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah,
That walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands:
Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of thy house;
Thy children like olive plants,
Round about thy table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
That feareth Jehovah.
Jehovah bless thee out of Zion:
And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Yea, see thou thy children’s children.
[a]Peace be upon Israel.
