Psalm 128

Blessedness Of The Fear Of The LORD.

A Song of Ascents. 1Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience],
Who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. 2For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands,
You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you. 3Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
Within the innermost part of your house;
Your children will be like olive plants
Around your table. 4Behold, for so shall the man be blessed and divinely favored
Who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience]. 5May the LORD bless you from Zion [His holy mountain],
And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life; 6Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
