Psalm 128
From Davids Psalms in Metre (1655)
BLessed art thou that fearest God,
and walkest in his way,
For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
happy art thou I say.
Like fruitful Vines on thy house side,
so shall thy wife spring out,
Thy children stand like olive plants
thy table round about.
Thus art thou blest that fearest God,
who all thy daies shalt see,
The promised Jerusalem
and her felicitie.
Thou shalt thy childrens children see
to thy great joyes encrease,
And likewise grace on Israel
prosperity and peace.
