< Psalmorum 128 >
1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
The LORD 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 Israel.
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
