Psalms 128

1Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways. 2For you shall eat the labour of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you. 3Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table. 4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD. 5The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.
