MSB Audio · Psalms 128
Majority Standard Bible
1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
KJV
1 ¶ A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.
3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
Pious husband and wife's duty and blessing.
1 A song in the higher chorus. Blessed is he that feareth the LORD, and walketh in his ways!
2 Thou shalt feed thyself with the work of thine hands: prosper thou, thou hast prospered.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine round about thy house, thy children as the olive branches round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus is the man blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion, and thou shalt see the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 And see thy children's children. Peace upon Israel!

The LED is an English rendering of Martin Luther's final 1545 German Bible. According to BackToLuther, it was produced by using the DeepL Translator on Luther's German text, then processed, polished, formatted, and hyperlinked for reading, while preserving chapter headings and other notations from orthodox German Lutheran Bibles.
