# Psalms 128

*Sundry blessings which follow them that fear God. A Song of degrees.*

**1** Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
**2** For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
**3** Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
**4** Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
**5** The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion; and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
**6** Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
