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 pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
1How joyful are those who fear the Lord—
all who follow his ways!
2You will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
How joyful and prosperous you will be!
3Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine,
flourishing within your home.
Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees
as they sit around your table.
4That is the Lord’s blessing
for those who fear him.
5May the Lord continually bless you from Zion.
May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.
6May you live to enjoy your grandchildren.
May Israel have peace!
