Psalms 128:1-6
The chapter describes the blessings that come to those who fear and follow God, including a prosperous family, fruitful marriage, and peaceful community. The psalmist promises that such individuals will be blessed with abundance and happiness. This is seen in the image of a fruitful vine and olive plants thriving around their table.
1A Song of degrees.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 by the sides 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, and peace upon Israel.
