| [1]Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his ways. |
[1]A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways. |
| [2]When thou eatest the labors of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee. |
[2]The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee. |
| [3]Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the olive plants round about thy table. |
[3]Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table. |
| [4]Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord. |
[4]Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah. |
| [5]The Lord out of Zion shall bless thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. |
[5]Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life, |
| [6]Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. |
[6]And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel! |
