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 labor 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
    around 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!

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 the Temple.

128 Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord
    and live the way he wants.

You will get what you work for.
    You will enjoy the Lord’s blessings, and all will go well for you.
At home, your wife will have many children, like a vine full of grapes.
    The children around your table will be like an orchard full of olive trees.
Yes, the Lord will really bless those who respect him.
May the Lord bless you from Mount Zion.
    May you enjoy the blessings of Jerusalem all your life.
And may you live to see your grandchildren.

Let Israel always enjoy peace!
