A Song of degrees.

1 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.

1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
