Psalm 128
A psalm written for those going up to the temple to worship.
1 How fortunate are you who have an awesome respect for him
and do what he wants you to do.
2 You will be able to enjoy the food you provide yourself with;
you will be fortunate and prosperous.
3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes;
she will give birth to many children.
Your children who sit around your table;
you will be like a strong olive tree that has many shoots growing up around it.
4 Like that, Yahweh will bless every man who has an awesome respect for him.
5 I wish that God in his temple on Mount Zion may help you greatly,
and that you will see the people of Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!
6 I wish that you may live many years
and that you may have grandchildren and be able to see them.
I wish that things may go well for people in Israel!
