< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
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.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
