Minister: Lift up your hearts!
Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord!
Everyone who fears the Lord is blessed,
All who walk in the ways assigned.
Your meals will be the work of your hands,
Happiness weighs your table down,
And it will all be well with all your house.
Your wife will be a fruitful vine
Along the walls of the home God gave;
Your children all like olive shoots
Seated at your table there.
To fear the Lord is blessedness indeed.
From Zion God will send His blessings down
And you will see Jerusalem’s good
Through all the days your life extends.
And you will also come to see
Your children’s children seated there,
And peace on Israel.
Psalm 128
And so, gracious Father, we worship You now through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end, amen.
