Psalms 128

God blesses families

1If people respect the Lord and they obey his commands, God has blessed them!

2You will eat the food that you have worked hard to grow. You will have everything that you need. You will be happy!

3Your 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.

4Yes, if a man respects the Lord, that is how God blesses him.

5The Lord rules from Zion, and I pray that he will bless you. Then you will see that Jerusalem is a good place to live in for as long as you live.

6I pray that you will live to see your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!
