Hoffnung für Alle
Glücklich ist, wer den Herrn achtet
128 Ein Lied für Festbesucher, die nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen.
Glücklich ist jeder, der den Herrn achtet
und nach seinen Weisungen lebt!
2 Was du dir erarbeitet hast, kannst du auch genießen.
Es geht dir gut, und das Glück ist auf deiner Seite.
3 Deine Frau gleicht einem fruchtbaren Weinstock,
der viele Reben trägt:
Die Kinder um deinen Tisch sind so zahlreich
wie die jungen Triebe eines Ölbaums!
4 So reich beschenkt Gott den Mann,
der ihm mit Ehrfurcht begegnet.
5 Der Herr segne dich – er, der auf dem Berg Zion wohnt!
Dein Leben lang sollst du sehen, dass es Jerusalem gut geht.
6 Mögest du so lange leben,
dass du dich noch an deinen Enkeln erfreuen kannst!
Frieden komme über Israel!
