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.

128
PSALM 128
A Song of degrees.
1Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways. 2For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table. 4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah. 5Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life, 6And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
