PSALM 128
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,
and walketh in his ways;
2For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
and happy be always.
3Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine
by thy house' sides be found:
Thy children like to olive-plants
about thy table round.
4Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
thus blessed shall he be.
5The Lord shall out of Sion give
his blessing unto thee:
Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold
whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
6Thou shalt thy children's children see,
and peace on Israel.

Psalm 128
128
Psalm 128
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
1Blessed are all those who have respect for the Lord.
They live as he wants them to live.
2Your work will give you what you need.
Blessings and good things will come to you.
3As a vine bears a lot of fruit,
so may your wife have many children by you.
May they sit around your table
like young olive trees.
4Only a man who has respect for the Lord
will be blessed like that.
5May the Lord bless you from Zion.
May you enjoy the good things that come to Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6May you live to see your grandchildren.
May Israel enjoy peace.
