Psalm 128
Berean Standard Bible
Chapter overview
Psalm 128 pictures blessing through meaningful labor, a flourishing marriage, children like olive shoots, long life, and Jerusalem's peace. Private household joy expands naturally into concern for the whole covenant community.

1Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
