The Bible
Psalm 128
A Song of Ascents.
1Blessed is everyone who fears ForeverOne
2For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears ForeverOne
5May ForeverOne
6Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
