Psalms 128

1A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways. 2The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy art thou, and good is to thee. 3Thy wife is as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table. 4Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah. 5Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life, 6And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
