Psalm 128

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Tune: ST PETER Psalm 128 Scottish Psalter (1650)

Psalm Text

Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,

and walketh in his ways;

For of thy labour thou shalt eat,

and happy be always.

Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine

by thy house' sides be found:

Thy children like to olive-plants

about thy table round.

Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

thus blessed shall he be.

The Lord shall out of Sion give

his blessing unto thee:

Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold

whilst thou on earth dost dwell.

Thou shalt thy children's children see,

and peace on Israel.
