Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh

A Song of Ascents.

128 (A)How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
Who (B)walks in His ways.
When you shall (C)eat of the [a](D)fruit of the labor of your hands,
How blessed will you be and (E)how well will it be for you.
Your wife shall be like a (F)fruitful vine
In the innermost parts of your house,
Your children like (G)olive plants
All around your table.
Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears Yahweh.

(H)May Yahweh bless you (I)from Zion,
That you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Indeed, may you see your (J)children’s children.
(K)Peace be upon 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!
