Psalms

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.

A Song of degrees.

1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
