Psalmorum 128

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

Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.

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

For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.

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

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.

5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.

Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
