Psalms 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.

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.
