Psalm 128, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
Your pair of translations is remembered on this device for other chapters.
