Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh
A song of ascents.The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
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
withinLiterally "in the recesses of" your house.
Your childrenHebrew "sons" will be like olive shoots
about your table.
4 Look, for thus shall a man be blessed
who fears Yahweh.Literally "a fearer of 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.
