Psalms Chapter 128

A Song of Ascents

1 How blessed you are that respect Yahveh

      and follow his ways.

2 When you eat what you earn,

      you’ll be happy, and life will be good.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your house;

      your children will be like olive plants around your table.

4 That’s how you’re blessed who respect Yahveh.

5 Yahveh bless you from Zion;

      may you see Jerusalem prosper all your whole life.

6 May you live to see your grandchildren.

                                                Peace to Israel!                      

Ps 128:1-6
