Psalmorum 128

1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, 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 tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

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 the LORD is blessed.

5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

May the LORD 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, pacem super Israel.

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
