Psalmorum 128

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

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 Jerusalem 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 Israël.

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