Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.
1 Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
   who walks in his ways.
2 You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
   you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.


3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
   within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
   around your table.
4 Thus shall the man be blessed
   who fears the Lord.


5 The Lord bless you from Zion.
   May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
   all the days of your life.
6 May you see your children’s children.
   Peace be upon Israel!
