1Happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
4Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
5The Lord bless you from Zion. May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6May you see your childrens children. Peace be upon Israel!
1Often have they attacked me from my youth let Israel now say
2often have they attacked me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.
4The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward.
6Let them be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,
7with which reapers do not fill their hands or binders of sheaves their arms,
8while those who pass by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!
