Psalm 128:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine on the sides of thine house, and thy [a]children like the olive plants round about thy table.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord out of Zion shall [b]bless thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of [c]Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
