The Book of Psalms

Psalm 128

The Promise of Great Blessing on God’s People

A Song of Ascents.

1BLESSED is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in His ways.

2 For you will eat the fruit of your labour;
you will be blessed, and it will go well with you. 3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine
within your house, your sons will be like olive shoots
around your table. 4 Thus will the man be blessed
who fears the LORD. 5 May the LORD bless you from Zion,
all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,
6and may you live to see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
