Psalms 128
Psalm 128, a song of ascents, declares that all who fear YHWH and walk in his ways are blessed, enjoying the fruit of their labor, a fruitful wife like a vine in the home, and children like olive shoots around the table.[1][2] It invokes YHWH's blessing from Zion to see Jerusalem's prosperity lifelong and children's children, with peace upon Israel.[1][3]
