1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
28 So God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fat places of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine.
29 Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be every one that blesseth thee.
28 And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee;
25 The LORD make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;
26 The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
3 For I will pour water upon the thirsty land, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour My spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring;
4 And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the young of thy flock.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
39 Moreover your little ones, that ye said should be a prey, and your children, that this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
7 He that walketh in his integrity as a just man, happy are his children after him.
12 We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth; whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;
13 Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath the LORD compassion upon them that fear Him.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
13 Withhold not correction from the child; for though thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
13 For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I will give thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written--even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
38 and they shall be My people, and I will be their God;
39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me for ever; for the good of them, and of their children after them;
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
4 We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.
