A Song of Ascents.

128 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
    who walks in his ways.
For you will eat the labor of your hands.
    You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house,
    your children like olive shoots around your table.
Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.
    May Yahweh bless you out of Zion,
    and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Yes, may you see your children’s children.
    Peace be upon Israel.

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,(A)
    who walk in obedience to him.(B)
You will eat the fruit of your labor;(C)
    blessings and prosperity(D) will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine(E)
    within your house;
your children(F) will be like olive shoots(G)
    around your table.
Yes, this will be the blessing(H)
    for the man who fears the Lord.(I)

May the Lord bless you from Zion;(J)
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem(K)
    all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children—(L)
    peace be on Israel.(M)
