< Psalmorum 128 >

1 canticum graduum beati omnes qui timent Dominum qui ambulant in viis eius
A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
2 labores manuum tuarum quia; manducabis beatus es et bene tibi erit
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae filii tui sicut novella olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum
Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.
5 benedicat te Dominus ex Sion et videas bona Hierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae
May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel
Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
