5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Send you help from the sanctuary, Grant you support from Zion,
May Yahweh bless you from Zion; Even he who made heaven and earth.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes of it shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords of it be broken.

Commentary on Psalms 128 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 128
This, as the former, is a psalm for families. In that we were taught that the prosperity of our families depends upon the blessing of God; in this we are taught that the only way to obtain that blessing which will make our families comfortable is to live in the fear of God and in obedience to him. Those that do so, in general, shall be blessed (v. 1, 2, 4), In particular,
We must sing this psalm in the firm belief of this truth, That religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God the praise that it is so and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it.
A song of degrees.
Psa 128:1-6
It is here shown that godliness has the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
