Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord

A Song of Ascents.
  1Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,
   Who walks in His ways.
  2When you eat the labor of your hands,
   You shall be happy, and it shall bewell with you.
   3Your wife shall belike a fruitful vine
   In the very heart of your house,
   Your children like olive plants
   All around your table.
   4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
   Who fears the Lord.
  5The Lord bless you out of Zion,
   And may you see the good of Jerusalem
   All the days of your life.
   6Yes, may you see your children’s children.
  Peace be upon Israel!
