Psalms 128

1-2All you who fear God , how blessed you are!

how happily you walk on his smooth straight road!

You worked hard and deserve all you’ve got coming.

Enjoy the blessing! Soak in the goodness!

3-4Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes,

your household lush as a vineyard,

The children around your table

as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.

Stand in awe of God’s Yes.

Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God !

5-6Enjoy the good life in Jerusalem

every day of your life.

And enjoy your grandchildren.

Peace to Israel!
