Psalms 128

A psalm blessing the family and labor of those who fear God.

Psalms 128 - Blessing on the God-Fearing Home

Psalm 128 pronounces blessing on "every one that feareth the LORD," describing a household where the wife is "as a fruitful vine" and children sit "like olive plants round about thy table." This picture of a flourishing home continues straight from the household blessing of Psalms 127.


(上行 之詩。)凡 敬畏 耶和華、遵行 他道 的人便為有福!

你要 吃 勞碌 得來的;你要享福,事情順利。

你妻子 在你的內 室,好像多結果子的 葡萄樹;你兒女 圍繞 你的桌子,好像橄欖 栽子。

看哪,敬畏 耶和華 的人 必要 這樣 蒙福!

願耶和華 從錫安 賜福給你!願你一生一世 看見 耶路撒冷 的好處!

願你看見 你兒女 的兒女!願平安 歸於 以色列!

The psalm closes by promising long life, enough "to see thy children's children," alongside peace upon Israel, a reward for the upright similar to <a href="/bible/chiun/isaiah/chapter-3/10">Isaiah 3:10</a>.
