Psalm 128

BLESSINGS FOR THOSE WHO FEAR GOD

A song of ascents.

1 How happy is everyone who fears the Lord,

who walks in his ways!v

2 You will surely eat

what your hands have worked for.w

You will be happy,

and it will go well for you.x

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within your house,

your children, like young olive trees

around your table.y

4 In this very way

the man who fears the Lord

will be blessed.z

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion,

so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your lifeaa

6 and will see your children’s children!

Peace be with Israel.ab
