Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 128
1A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes. 2When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee. 3Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table. 4Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord. 5The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life. 6Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
