Psalm 128

A Song of degrees.

1        Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,

                   and walketh in his ways;

2        For of thy labour thou shalt eat,

                   and happy be always.

3        Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine

                   by thy house' sides be found:

          Thy children like to olive-plants

                   about thy table round.

4        Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

                   thus blessed shall he be.

5        The Lord shall out of Sion give

                   his blessing unto thee:

          Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold

                   whilst thou on earth dost dwell.

6        Thou shalt thy children's children see,

                   and peace on Israel.
