5 The LORD H3068 shall bless H1288 thee out of Zion: H6726 and thou shalt see H7200 the good H2898 of Jerusalem H3389 all the days H3117 of thy life. H2416
Send H7971 thee help H5828 from the sanctuary, H6944 and strengthen H5582 thee out of Zion; H6726
Pray H7592 for the peace H7965 of Jerusalem: H3389 they shall prosper H7951 that love H157 thee.
Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 out of Zion, H6726 which dwelleth H7931 at Jerusalem. H3389 Praise H1984 ye the LORD. H3050
And many H7227 people H5971 shall go H1980 and say, H559 Come H3212 ye, and let us go up H5927 to the mountain H2022 of the LORD, H3068 to the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob; H3290 and he will teach H3384 us of his ways, H1870 and we will walk H3212 in his paths: H734 for out of Zion H6726 shall go forth H3318 the law, H8451 and the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 from Jerusalem.

Psalm 128

We must sing this psalm in the firm belief of this truth, That religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God the praise that it is so and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it.
A song of degrees.
Psa 128:1-6
It is here shown that godliness has the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
