English Standard Version | New Living Translation |
1Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! | 1How joyful are those who fear the LORD— all who follow his ways! |
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. | 2You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! |
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. | 3Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. |
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. | 4That is the LORD’s blessing for those who fear him. |
5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! | 5May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. |
6May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel! | 6May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace! |
