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.

Psalm 128
128
1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.
3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.
4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.
5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:
7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.
8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: "The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord."
