And that walketh in His ways.
Thou shalt eat of thy hands’ labor;
And be prospered all thy days.
Like a vine with fruit abounding
In thy house thy wife is found
And like olive plants, thy children
Compassing thy table ’round.
Lo, on him that fears Jehovah
Shall this blessedness attend
For Jehovah, out of Zion,
Shall to thee His blessings send
Thou shalt see Jerus’lem prosper
All thy days ’til life shall cease
Thou shalt see thy children’s children
Unto Isr-a-el be peace.
Tune: "Come Thou Fount of every blessing"
Here is a snippet from a family man: [the rest can be found here]
one of my boys asked, “Daddy, since we could not sing our psalm in the
restaurant, can we sing it while we’re in the car?” You better believe
we can! If a small step on my part can lead to my 11 or 12 year old
asking to seize a moment to sing scripture together, let me take that
step!
Then, our singing of Psalm 128 has had an unexpected
sanctifying influence on me. The children enjoy the song so I can often
hear them singing it lightly as they go about their tasks in the home.
I hear them singing “Bless the man who fears Jehovah and that walketh
in his ways” and the rest of the Psalm which expounds the benefits
which will come to them as their father fears and obeys God.
