< 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 novella 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 te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae
6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
