128:1 BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, {and} worships the Lord, who walks in His ways {and} lives according to His commandments. |
128:2 For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you. |
128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table. |
128:4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently {and} worshipfully fears the Lord. |
128:5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion [His sanctuary], and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life; |
128:6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel! |
