Psalmorum 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
