PSALM 128
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,
and walketh in his ways;
2For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
and happy be always.
3Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine
by thy house' sides be found:
Thy children like to olive-plants
about thy table round.
4Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
thus blessed shall he be.
5The Lord shall out of Sion give
his blessing unto thee:
Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold
whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
6Thou shalt thy children's children see,
and peace on Israel.

Psalms 128
128
The Happy Home of the Faithful
A Song of Ascents.
1Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4Thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.
5The Lord bless you from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6May you see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel!
