Psalm 128
128
1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.
3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.
4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.
5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:
7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.
8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: "The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord."

(A song for worship.)
The Lord Rewards His Faithful People
1The Lord will bless you
if you respect him
and obey his laws.
2Your fields will produce,
and you will be happy—
all will go well.
3Your wife will be as fruitful
as a grapevine,
and just as an olive tree
is rich with olives,
your home will be rich
with healthy children.
4This is how the Lord will bless
everyone who respects him.
5I pray that the Lord
will bless you from Zion
and let Jerusalem prosper
as long as you live.
6May you live long enough
to see your grandchildren.
Let's pray for peace in Israel!
