Psalms 128

1 “A song of the degrees.” 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 labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.

3 Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses 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, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

5 May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

6 And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.

Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
