Psalm 128
(LXX 127)

AlexandrinusVaticanus

A Song of degrees. 1 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD; who walks in his ways.

שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות אַ֭שְׁרֵי כָּל־יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝הֹלֵ֗ךְ בִּדְרָכָֽיו׃


2 For you shall eat the labour of your hands; happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

יְגִ֣יעַ כַּ֭פֶּיךָ כִּ֣י תֹאכֵ֑ל אַ֝שְׁרֶ֗יךָ וְטֹ֣וב לָֽךְ׃

2 τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ, καὶ καλῶς σοί ἔσται. 2 τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ, καὶ καλῶς σοι ἔσται.
2 You shall eat the labours of your hands; blessed are you, and it shall be well with you. 2 You shall eat the labours of your hands; blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house; your children like olive plants round about your table.

אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤ ׀ כְּגֶ֥פֶן פֹּרִיָּה֮ בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ בָּ֭נֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י זֵיתִ֑ים סָ֝בִ֗יב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃

3 γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν τοῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου. 3 γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν τοῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house; your children as young olive-plants round about your table. 3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house; your children as young olive-plants round about your table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.

הִנֵּ֣ה כִי־כֵ֭ן יְבֹ֥רַךְ גָּ֗בֶר יְרֵ֣א יְהוָֽה׃

4 Ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον. 4 ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord. 4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

5 The LORD shall bless you out of Zion; and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

יְבָרֶכְךָ֥ יְהוָ֗ה מִצִּ֫יֹּ֥ון וּ֭רְאֵה בְּט֣וּב יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כֹּ֝֗ל יְמֵ֣י חַיֶּֽיךָ׃

5 εὐλογήσαι σὲ κύριος ἐκ Σιών, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου· 5 εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος ἐκ Σιών, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου·
5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 Yes, you shall see your children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

וּרְאֵֽה־בָנִ֥ים לְבָנֶ֑יךָ שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

6 καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου.
εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
6 καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου.
εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
6 And may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel. 6 And may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
