Psalm 128
Common English Bible
Psalm 128
A pilgrimage song.
128 Everyone who honors the Lord,
who walks in God’s ways, is truly happy!
2 You will definitely enjoy what you’ve worked hard for—
you’ll be happy; and things will go well for you.
3 In your house, your wife will be like a vine full of fruit.
All around your table, your children will be like olive trees, freshly planted.
4 That’s how it goes for anyone who honors the Lord:
they will be blessed!
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion.
May you experience Jerusalem’s goodness your whole life long.
6 And may you see your grandchildren.
Peace be on Israel!
Psaumes 128
La Bible du Semeur
Que l’Eternel te bénisse !
128 Cantique pour la route vers la demeure de l’Eternel[a].
Heureux es-tu, ╵toi qui crains l’Eternel
et qui suis les chemins ╵qu’il a tracés !
2 Tu tireras profit ╵du travail de tes mains,
tout ira bien pour toi ╵et tu seras heureux.
3 Dans ton foyer, ta femme
sera comme une vigne ╵chargée de nombreux fruits
et, autour de ta table,
tes fils seront tels des plants d’olivier.
4 C’est ainsi que sera béni
un homme qui craint l’Eternel.
5 Oui, l’Eternel te bénira ╵depuis le mont Sion,
et tu contempleras ╵le bonheur de Jérusalem
tous les jours de ta vie,
6 tu verras les enfants ╵de tes enfants !
Que la paix soit sur Israël !
Psalm 128
King James Version
128 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
