The Psalms, starting at chapter 127
Psalm 127
A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.
{127:1} Unless Yahweh builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it.
Unless Yahweh watches over the city,
The watchman guards it in vain.
{127:2} It is vain for you to rise up early,
To stay up late,
Eating the bread of toil;
For he gives sleep to his loved ones.
{127:3} Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh.
The fruit of the womb is his reward.
{127:4} As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
So are the children of youth.
{127:5} Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the
gate.
Psalm 128
A Song of Ascents.
{128:1} Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
Who walks in his ways.
{128:2} For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
{128:3} Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of your house;
Your children like olive plants,
Around your table.
{128:4} Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh.
{128:5} May Yahweh bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
{128:6} Yes, may you see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel.
Psalm 129
A Song of Ascents.
{129:1} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Israel now say,
{129:2} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
{129:3} The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long.
{129:4} Yahweh is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
{129:5} Let them be disappointed and turned backward,
All those who hate Zion.
{129:6} Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up;
{129:7} With which the reaper doesn't fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
{129:8} Neither do those who go by say,
"The blessing of Yahweh be on you.
We bless you in the name of Yahweh."
