Psalm 128
New King James Version

### Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord

#### A Song of Ascents.

128 Blessed (A)is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.

2 (B)When you eat the [a]labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be (C)well with you.
3 Your wife shall be (D)like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your (E)children (F)like olive plants
All around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.

5 (G)The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you (H)see your children’s children.

(I)Peace be upon Israel!
