< Psalmorum 128 >
1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
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 tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
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 Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
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 Israel.
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
