Psalmorum 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuæ. Filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum, in circuitu mensæ tuæ.

Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum, pacem super Israel.

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
