128 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on 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)
