< Psalmorum 128 >
1 canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius
BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum
Behold, that 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 shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
