1 A Song of degrees.
BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

2 What your hands provide you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper:

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your home, Your children like young olive plants around your table.

4 Just so will the man be blessed who fears the LORD.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem’s prosperity all the days of your life,

6 and live to see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel!
