< Psalmorum 128 >
1 Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will 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 will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.]
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
