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!

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)
