Living the Good Life

Psalm 128:1–5

A Song of Ascents.

128:1   Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
    who walks in his ways!
2   You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
    you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3   Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
  your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
4   Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the LORD.
5   The LORD bless you from Zion!
    May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life!

Proverbs 11:11

11   By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
    but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
