< Psalms 128 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in his ways.
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thine house: thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, in circuitu mensae tuae.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
