Psalmorum 128

1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

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

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
