Psalms of Ascent - 128

God presents us with a view of harvest, the greater fall harvest of fruit from tree and vine. The blessings of a prosperous land, and family harmony are for those who fear the Lord and wholeheartedly adopt his ways of living and teach them to their children and grandchildren.
This can be a reality for us now, and a hope for humanity in the future.

Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,

Who walks in His ways.

2 When you eat the labor of your hands,

You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

In the very heart of your house,

Your children like olive plants

All around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed

Who fears the Lord.

5 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 see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!
