1A song of ascents.
Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
who walk in His ways!
1A Song of the Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears YHWH, those walking in His ways!
2For when you eat the fruit of your labor,
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
2The labor of your hands, surely you shall eat; blessings and good are unto you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
flourishing within your house,
your sons like olive shoots
sitting around your table.
3Your wife is fruitful like a vine in the sides of your house, your sons like shoots of olive trees round about your table.
4In this way indeed shall blessing come
to the man who fears the LORD.
4Behold, how thus is blessed the man fearing YHWH.
5May the LORD bless you from Zion,
that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life,
5May YHWH bless you from Zion, that you may look on the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6that you may see
your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
6and may you see the sons of your sons! Peace be upon Israel!
