Psalms 128

Psalm 128

The Happy Home of the Faithful

1Happy is everyone who fears the Lord ,[#Ps 112.1; 119.3]

who walks in his ways.

2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;[#Eccl 8.12; Isa 3.10; Ezek 23.29]

you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.

3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine[#Ps 52.8; 144.12; Ezek 19.10]

within your house;

your children will be like olive shoots

around your table.

4Thus shall the man be blessed

who fears the Lord .

5The Lord bless you from Zion.[#Ps 20.2; 122.9; 134.3]

May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life.

6May you see your children’s children.[#Gen 50.23; Job 42.16; Ps 125.5]

Peace be upon Israel!
