Psalm 128

EasyEnglish Bible

128 If people respect the Lord
    and they obey his commands,
God has blessed them!
² You will eat the food that you have worked hard to grow.
    You will have everything that you need.
    You will be happy!
³ Your wife will be like a vine that grows in your home,
    and it gives many grapes.
Your children will sit around your table,
    like the branches of an olive tree that are around you.^[a]
4 Yes, if a man respects the Lord,
    that is how God blesses him.
⁵ The Lord rules from Zion,
    and I pray that he will bless you.^[b]
Then you will see that Jerusalem is a good place to live in
    for as long as you live.
⁶ I pray that you will live to see your grandchildren.
May Israel have peace!
