Psalms 128
128
The Reward of Obedience to the LORD
1Happy are those who obey the LORD,
who live by his commands.
2Your work will provide for your needs;
you will be happy and prosperous.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your home,
and your children will be like young olive trees round your table.
4A man who obeys the LORD
will surely be blessed like this.
5May the LORD bless you from Zion!
May you see Jerusalem prosper
all the days of your life!
6May you live to see your grandchildren!
Peace be with Israel!

Psalms 128
128
PSALM 128.
1A gradual canticle.
Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
5let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
8And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
