1 canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius

A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.

2 labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit

When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.

3 uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae filii tui sicut novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae

Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table.

4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum

Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.

5 benedicat te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae

The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.

6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel

Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
