< Psalmorum 128 >

1 canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit
For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae filii tui sicut novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum
In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 benedicat te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae
May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
