1 PSALM 128 Blessedness of the Fear of the L . A Song of Ascents. Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the L[and worships Him with obedience],Who walks in His waysandlives according to His commandments.
2 For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands,You will be happyandblessed and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vineWithin the innermost part of your house;Your children will be like olive plantsAround your table.
4 Behold, for so shall the man be blessedanddivinely favoredWho fears the L[and worships Him with obedience].
5 May the Lbless you from Zion [His holy mountain],And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;
6 Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children’s children.Peace be upon Israel!
