Psalm 128

1. Blest is the man who always
   reveres and serves the LORD,
   who, walking in his pathways,
   obeys and keeps his word.
   The fruit of all your labour
   you as reward will eat;
   you, blest by his great favour,
   will have what you may need.
   
   
2. Your wife a vine resembles,
   fruitful within your house.
   Like olive shoots assemble
   the children God allows.
   Around your table sitting,
   they are a rich reward,
   a blessing great and fitting
   for him who fears the LORD.
   
   
3. From Zion come your blessing;
   may you see Salem’s peace
   and happiness progressing
   until your days will cease.
   May you through life’s duration
   know that your seed is well
   and see their generations.
   Peace be on Israel.
