Psalm 128

¹A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in his ways.

²For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

³Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thine house: thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

⁴Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

⁵The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

⁶Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

¹A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, let Israel now say;

²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: yet they have not prevailed against me.

³The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

⁴The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁵Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

⁷Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁸Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.

¹A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

²Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

³If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

⁴But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

⁵I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

⁶My soul looketh for the Lord, more than watchmen look for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

⁸And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
