Psalm 127
|
(A song of ascents.)
1
Blessed thou art, if thou dost fear the Lord, and follow his paths!
2
Thyself shall eat what thy hands have toiled to win; blessed thou art; all good shall be thine.
3
Thy wife shall be fruitful as a vine, in the heart of thy home, the children round thy table sturdy as olive-branches.
4
Let a man serve the Lord, such is the blessing that awaits him.
5
May the Lord who dwells in Sion bless thee; mayest thou see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long.
6
Mayest thou live to see thy children’s children, and peace resting upon Israel.
