1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. |
1 <A Song of the going up.> Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways. |
|
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. |
2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you. |
|
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. |
3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table. |
|
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. |
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord. |
|
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. |
5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. |
|
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. |
6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel. |
