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
A song for going up to the Temple.
1Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord
and live the way he wants.
2You will get what you work for.
You will enjoy the Lord’s blessings, and all will go well for you.
3At home, your wife will have many children, like a vine full of grapes.
The children around your table will be like an orchard full of olive trees.
4Yes, the Lord will really bless those who respect him.
5May the Lord bless you from Mount Zion.
May you enjoy the blessings of Jerusalem all your life.
6And may you live to see your grandchildren.
Let Israel always enjoy peace!
