Psalm 128

A Song of degrees.


Tunes PCC uses:   TivertonHoward 

 

1

Bless’d is each one that fears the Lord,

 

 

and walketh in his ways;

2

For of thy labour thou shalt eat,

 

 

and happy be always.

3

Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine

 

 

by thy house’ sides be found:

 

Thy children like to olive-plants

 

 

about thy table round.

 

4

Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

 

 

thus blessed shall he be.

5

The Lord shall out of Sion give

 

 

his blessing unto thee:

 

Thou shalt Jerus’lem’s good behold

 

 

whilst thou on earth dost dwell.

6

Thou shalt thy children’s children see,

 

 

and peace on Israel.
