My Psalm 128

Lord, I am so blessed
because I revere you,
because I have walked in your ways.

You have blessed my labors,
you have granted prosperity
by your kindness and grace.

You have blessed me with a wife
who is so lovely,
smart,
capable,
compassionate,
companionable,
and loving.

You have given me children
who are like olive shoots,
always producing good things.

Thus have I been blessed
by my relationship with you.

Keep it up, Lord.
Bless me with your holy presence
all the days of my life.

May I see the prosperity of Jerusalem,
and the prosperity of Cobblestone,
and the prosperity of the church in Oxford;
may I live to see you pour out blessing
on my children's children;
and let your peace rest
on all your people,
amen.
