How joyful are those who fear the LORD — all who follow his ways!
2 (127-2) For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
2
You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be!
3 (127-3) Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table.
4 (127-4) Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

That is the LORD ’s blessing for those who fear him.
5 (127-5) May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayst thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.

May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!
