The Joy of Obeying

128 Happy are all who honor the Lord with fear, and who walk in His ways. For you will eat the fruit of your hands. You will be happy and it will be well with you. Your wife will be like a vine with much fruit within your house. Your children will be like olive plants around your table. This is the good that will come to the man who honors the Lord with fear.

May the Lord do good things for you from Zion. And may you see good come to Jerusalem all the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,(A)
    who walk in obedience to him.(B)
You will eat the fruit of your labor;(C)
    blessings and prosperity(D) will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine(E)
    within your house;
your children(F) will be like olive shoots(G)
    around your table.
Yes, this will be the blessing(H)
    for the man who fears the Lord.(I)

May the Lord bless you from Zion;(J)
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem(K)
    all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children—(L)
    peace be on Israel.(M)
