1 A Song of the going up. Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.

1 Canticum graduum. [Spe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea,dicat nunc Isral ;2 spe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea :etenim non potuerunt mihi.3 Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores ;prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.4 Dominus justusconcidit cervices peccatorum.5 Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsumomnes qui oderunt Sion.6 Fiant sicut fnum tectorum,quod priusquam evellatur exaruit :7 de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit,et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.8 Et non dixerunt qui prteribant :Benedictio Domini super vos.Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.]
