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
Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh
A song of ascents.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
who walks in his ways.
2You will indeed eat of the labor of your hands;
you will be happy and it will be well with you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within#Literally “in the recesses of” your house.
Your children#Hebrew “sons” will be like olive shoots
about your table.
4Look, for thus shall a man be blessed
who fears Yahweh.#Literally “a fearer of Yahweh”
5May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
that you may see the good of Jerusalem
all the days of your life,
6and that you may see your children’s children.
May peace be upon Israel.
