The Psalms of Ascents

Fruitful Walk

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in his ways.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your sons will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem.
6 And may you live to see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel.

Psalm 128 questions

1. What do you think it means for you to “fear the Lord” and “walk in his ways”?

2. If you have walked with the Lord, how do you think you have profited from doing so?

3. How do you think God has blessed you in your vocation and in your home?

4. If you have felt at all blessed by God, how do you think being blessed has affected your concern for other people?
