Psalmorum 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae

Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity 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. Peace be to Israel!
