The Prayer of the Husband and Father: May I Fear God

Psalm 128, made into a prayer:
O God, I know that blessed is everyone who fears you, who walks in your ways!
When I remember this, when I live this,
I will eat of the labor of my hands,
I will be blessed, and it will be well with me.
If I fear you, my wife will be like the fruitful vine within my house;
my children will be like the olive shoots around my table.
Behold, I will be blessed if I fear you.
May I therefore fear and honor you oh great King as you stand before me,
and may I sink into lowly estate.
