Psalm 128
From The Book of Psalms in Metre (1644)
BLessed are all that fear the LORD,
And walk as God commands:
For thou shalt eat the plenty stor'd
By labours of thy hands.
All welfare shall to thee betide,
And happie be thy life:
Like fruitfull Vine on thy house-side,
Lo such shall be thy wife.
Thy children round about thy board,
Like plants of Olive tree:
Behold the man that fears the Lord,
Thus blessed shall he be.
The Lord from Sion unto thee,
Rich blessings shall convay:
And thou Jerus'lems good shalt see,
Unto thy dying day.
Yea with great joy shalt thou behold
A plentifull increase
Of childrens children, being old,
And Israels stablisht peace.
