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

The Happy Home of the Faithful

A Song of Ascents.

Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
    who walks in his ways.(A)
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
    you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.(B)

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.(C)
Thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.

The Lord bless you from Zion.
    May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.(D)
May you see your children’s children.
    Peace be upon Israel!(E)
