1 H ow blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways.

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

2 W hen you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy thou, and good to thee.

3 Y our wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within your house, Your children like olive plants Around your table.

Thy wife as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4 B ehold, for thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord.

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

5 T he Lord bless you from Zion, And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

6 I ndeed, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
