Psalms

A song of ascents.

1Blessed are all who fear the LORD,who walk in His ways!

2For when you eat the fruit of your labor,blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3Your wife will be like a fruitful vineflourishing within your house,your sons like olive shootssitting around your table.

4In this way indeed shall blessing cometo the man who fears the LORD.

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

6that you may seeyour children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

A Song of Ascents.

1Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,who walks in his ways.

2For you will eat the labor of your hands.You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

3Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house,your children like olive shoots around your table.

4Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

5May the 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.
