Psalm 128

HM/HMD · 6·6·6·6·8·8 (D)

A Song of degrees.

1 Blessed is every one

that doth Jehovah fear:

that walks his ways along.

2 For thou shalt eat with cheer

thy hands’ labour:

blest shalt thou be,

it well with thee

shall be therefore.

3 Thy wife like fruitful vine

shall be by thine house side:

the children that be thine

like olive plants abide

about thy board.

4 Behold thus blest

that man doth rest,

that fears the Lord.

5 Jehovah shall thee bless

from Sion, and shalt see

Jerusalem’s goodness

all thy life’s days that be.

6 And shalt view well

thy children then

with their children,

peace on Isr’el.
