Psalms 128

1 BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 by the sides of thine 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, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.]
