< 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.
You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, 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 on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion: et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.
And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
