Psalms 128

¹A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

²For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

³Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

⁴Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.

⁵May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

⁶Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
