1 B lessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.

2 F or you shall eat of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

3 Y our wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.

4 B ehold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord.

5 M ay the Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;

6 Y es, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
