Psalms 128 YLT

Summary: A Song of Ascents pronouncing blessing on "every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways" (v. 1), promising he will eat the fruit of his own labor and be happy. Its central images are domestic and agricultural: a wife "as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house," and children "like olive plants round about thy table" (v. 3). It closes extending the blessing across generations, envisioning the man seeing "thy children's children, and peace upon Israel" (v. 6).

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!
