Psalm 128

Contemporary English Version

(A song for worship.)

The Lord Rewards His Faithful People

¹The Lord will bless you
if you respect him
    and obey his laws.
²Your fields will produce,
and you will be happy—
    all will go well.
³Your wife will be as fruitful
    as a grapevine,
and just as an olive tree
    is rich with olives,
your home will be rich
    with healthy children.
⁴This is how the Lord will bless
    everyone who respects him.

⁵I pray that the Lord
    will bless you from Zion
and let Jerusalem prosper
    as long as you live.
⁶May you live long enough
    to see your grandchildren.
Let's pray for peace in Israel!
