< Psalmorum 128 >
1 Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
For you shall eat the labour of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.]
Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.
