Psalm 128
Good News Translation

The Reward of Obedience to the Lord

128 Happy are those who obey the Lord,
    who live by his commands.

2 Your work will provide for your needs;
    you will be happy and prosperous.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your home,
    and your children will be like young olive trees around your table.
4 A man who obeys the Lord
    will surely be blessed like this.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion!
    May you see Jerusalem prosper
    all the days of your life!
6 May you live to see your grandchildren!

Peace be with Israel!
