Psalm 128—Blessed are you who fear the Lord.

"But walk with the Lord and you will know the beauty God gave creation..."

Rendition of Psalm 128

Blessed are you who fear the Lord
And walk with him.
When you eat the fruit
Of the work of your hands,
It will go well with you.
Your wife will be a fruitful vine,
Abiding in the center of your home,
And your children like olive shoots
Around your table.

But walk with the Lord
And you will know the beauty
God gave creation and will
Pass your days in goodness 
among your children’s children.
