Psalm 128

Psalm 128 (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.

 ^1[a]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.^{(A)     2}For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
    ³Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.
    ⁴Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord.
    ⁵May the Lord bless you out of Zion [His sanctuary], and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;
    ⁶Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
