The Happy Home

A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover].

128 ·Happy [Blessed] are those who ·respect [fear] the Lord [Prov. 1:7] and ·obey him [L walk in his ways].
You will ·enjoy what you work for [L eat the labor of your hands],
    and you will be ·blessed [happy] with ·good things [prosperity].
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine [C produce many children] in your house [Prov. 31:10–31].
    Your children will be like olive branches [C bringing much good] around your table [Mic. 4:4; Zech. 3:10].
This is how the man who ·respects [fears] the Lord [Prov. 1:7]
    will be blessed.
May the Lord bless you from Mount Zion [C the location of the Temple];
    may you ·enjoy [experience; L see] the ·good things [prosperity] of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May you see your grandchildren.

Let there be peace in Israel.
