Psalms 128

Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh

A song of ascents. ^{▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm}

1 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
who walks in his ways.
2 You will indeed eat of the labor of your hands;
you will be happy and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
⌞within⌟ ^{▼▼Literally “in the recesses of”} your house.
Your children ^{▼▼Hebrew “sons”} will be like olive shoots
about your table.
4 Look, for thus shall a man be blessed
⌞who fears Yahweh⌟. ^{▼▼Literally “a fearer of Yahweh”}
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
that you may see the good of Jerusalem
all the days of your life,
6 and that you may see your children’s children.
May peace be upon Israel.
