(A song for worship.)

The Lord Rewards His Faithful People

The Lord will bless you
if you respect him
    and obey his laws.
Your fields will produce,
and you will be happy—
    all will go well.
Your wife will be as fruitful
    as a grapevine,
and just as an olive tree
    is rich with olives,
your home will be rich
    with healthy children.
This is how the Lord will bless
    everyone who respects him.

I pray that the Lord
    will bless you from Zion
and let Jerusalem prosper
    as long as you live.
May you live long enough
    to see your grandchildren.
Let's pray for peace in 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)
