A Song of Ascents.

1How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
         Who walks in His ways.

2When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands,
         You will be happy and it will be well with you.

3Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
         Within your house,
         Your children like olive plants
         Around your table.

4Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
         Who fears the LORD.

5The LORD bless you from Zion,
         And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6Indeed, may you see your children’s children.
         Peace be upon Israel!
