Praying Through: Psalm 128

The Psalm

Psalm 128 (CSB)
A song of ascents.

¹ How happy is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways!

² You will surely eat what your hands have worked for. You will be happy, and it will go well for you.

³ Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house, your children, like young olive trees around your table.

⁴ In this very way the man who fears the LORD will be blessed.

⁵ May the LORD bless you from Zion, so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life

⁶ and will see your children’s children! Peace be with Israel.

The Prayer

My Blessing & Keeping

You are my great God

who sought in your good pleasure
to create me
to be on this earth
but more so
before the mountains were formed
you saw the depths of my heart
you knew my wickedness
and you cared enough
to save me
to keep me
to bless me.

I am so immensely blessed

from your own hand
and I have everything
because I have your only begotten Son
my only, only Lord Jesus Christ.

I love you

and all that is in me
I will bless your holy name
forevermore.

Amen.
