< Psalms 128 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 When thou eatest 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 innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
