1 [A Song of degrees.] Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

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.
