Psalms 128 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)(MP1650)

PSALM 128Common Meter: 8,6,8,6

1Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,

and walketh in his ways;

2For of thy labour thou shalt eat,

and happy be always.

3Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine

by thy house' sides be found:

Thy children like to olive-plants

about thy table round.

4Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

thus blessed shall he be.

5The Lord shall out of Sion give

his blessing unto thee:

Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold

whilst thou on earth dost dwell.

6Thou shalt thy children's children see,

and peace on Israel.
