< Psalmorum 128 >

1 Canticum graduum. Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius.
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
For you shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall 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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
Yes, you shall see your children’s children, and peace on Israel.
