1(128) A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
1A Song of Ascents. By Solomon. Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
2You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
2It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
3Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
5May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
5Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
