« | Psalm 128 | » |
1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in His ways.
2 You shall eat the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house; your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life
6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
