Psalms

A Song of Ascents.

128 How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, Who walketh in his ways!

2 The labour of thine own hands surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

3 Thy wife like a fruitful vine Within the recesses of thy house,—Thy children like plantings of olive-trees, Round about thy table.

4 Lo! thus shall be blessed the man Who revereth Yahweh.

5 Yahweh will bless thee out of Zion,—And behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life!

6 And behold thou thy children’s children,—Prosperity on Israel!
