Psalm 128

God blesses families

¹If people respect the Lord

and they obey his commands ,

they are truly happy!

²You will eat the food that you have worked hard to grow.

You will have everything that you need.

You will be happy!

³Your wife will be like a vine that grows in your home,

and it gives many grapes .

Your children will sit around your table,

like the branches of an olive tree that are around you.

⁴Yes, if a man respects the Lord ,

that is how God blesses him.

⁵The Lord rules from Zion ,

and I pray that he will bless you.

Then you will see that Jerusalem is a good place to live in

for as long as you live.

⁶I pray that you will live to see your grandchildren.

May Israel have peace !
