Psalm 128 (NIV)

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

1Blessed are all who fear the Lord,

who walk in obedience to him.

2You will eat the fruit of your labor;

blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within your house;

your children will be like olive shoots

around your table.

4Yes, this will be the blessing

for the man who fears the Lord.

5May the Lord bless you from Zion;

may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life.

6May you live to see your children’s children—

peace be on Israel.
