Psalter number 360. Family Happiness - Psalm 128

1. Blest the man that fears Jehovah,

Walking ever in His ways;

By thy toil thou shalt be prospered

And be happy all thy days.

2. In thy wife thou shalt have gladness,

She shall fill thy home with good,

Happy in her loving service

And the joys of motherhood.

3. Joyful children, sons and daughters,

Shall about thy table meet,

Olive plants, in strength and beauty,

Full of hope and promise sweet.

4. Lo, on him that fears Jehovah

Shall this blessedness attend,

For Jehovah out of Zion

Shall to thee His blessing send.

5. Thou shalt see God's kingdom prosper

All thy days, till life shall cease,

Thou shalt see thy children's children;

On Thy people, Lord, be peace.
