Psalms 128:2

Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 Blessed ^ais every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.

2 ^aWhen you eat the¹ labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be ^bwell with you.

3 Your wife shall be ^alike a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your ^bchildren ^clike olive plants
All around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.

5 ^aThe Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.

6 Yes, may you ^asee your children’s children.
^bPeace be upon Israel!

Psalms 128:2

Those shalt eat the labor of thine hands - Thou shalt not be exempted from labor. Thou shalt work: But God will bless and prosper that work, and thou and thy family shall eat of it. Ye shall all live on the produce of your own labor, and the hand of violence shall not be permitted to deprive you of it. Thus,

Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee - Thou shalt have prosperity.
