Psalm 128

New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 Blessed are all those who have respect for the LORD. They live as he wants them to live. 

2 Your work will give you what you need. Blessings and good things will come to you. 

3 As a vine bears a lot of fruit, so may your wife have many children by you. May they sit around your table like young olive trees. 

4 Only a man who has respect for the LORD will be blessed like that. 

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion. May you enjoy the good things that come to Jerusalem all the days of your life. 

6 May you live to see your grandchildren. May Israel enjoy peace.
