Psalmorum 128

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

A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

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

Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, 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 as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.

4 ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

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

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum pax super Israhel

And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
