Proclamation – Ashlynn Thomace  

Psalm 128 

1 Happy are they all who fear the Lord,  
and who follow in his ways! 

2 You shall eat the fruit of your labor;  
happiness and prosperity shall be yours. 

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house,  
your children like olive shoots round about your table. 

4 The man who fears the Lord shall thus indeed be blessed. 

5 The Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 

6 May you live to see your children's children;  
may peace be upon Israel.
