A Song of degrees.

1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

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

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

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

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

1 'n BEDEVAARTSLIED.

Welgeluksalig is elkeen wat die Here vrees, wat in sy weë wandel!

2 Die opbrings van jou hande sal jy sekerlik eet; gelukkig is jy, en dit gaan met jou goed!

3 Jou vrou is soos 'n vrugbare wingerdstok binne-in jou huis; jou kinders soos olyfboompies rondom jou tafel.

4 Kyk, so sal sekerlik geseën word die man wat die Here vrees.

5 Mag die Here jou seën uit Sion, dat jy die voorspoed van Jerusalem mag aanskou al die dae van jou lewe!

6 En dat jy jou kindskinders mag aanskou! Vrede oor Israel!
