Psa 128

A psalm written for those going up to the temple to worship

1 Yahweh is pleased with those of you who revere him

and do what he wants you to do.

2 You will be able to earn the money that you need to buy food;

you will be happy and you will be 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

will be like a strong olive tree that has many shoots growing up around it.

4 Every man who reveres Yahweh

will be blessed like that.

5 I want Yahweh to bless all of you from where he dwells on Zion Hill in Jerusalem

and that you will see the people of Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

6 I hope that you will live many years

with the result that you will have grandchildren and be able to see them.

I hope that things will go well for people in Israel!
