< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your 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 fears the Lord.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
