Chapter 128

A Song of the Ascents.

1

O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

2

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy art thou, and good is to thee.

3

Thy wife is as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

5

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

6

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
