A song of ascents.*

1 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,

who walks in his ways.

2 You will indeed eat of the labor of your hands;

you will be happy and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within* your house.

Your children* will be like olive shoots

about your table.

4 Look, for thus shall a man be blessed

who fears Yahweh.*

5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion,

that you may see the good of Jerusalem

all the days of your life,

6 and that you may see your children’s children.

May peace be upon Israel.
