May You See Your Children’s Children

“Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

In the very heart of your house,

Your children like olive plants

All around your table.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed

Who fears the LORD. . . .

Yes, may you see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!” (Psalms 128:3-4, 6 NKJV)
