New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 A song of ascents: How happy is everyone who fears ADONAI, who lives by his ways.
|
1 Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways.
|
|
2 You will eat what your hands have produced; you will be happy and prosperous.
|
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
|
|
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner parts of your house. Your children around the table will be like shoots from an olive tree.
|
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.
|
|
4 This is the kind of blessing that will fall on him who fears ADONAI.
|
4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
|
|
5 May ADONAI bless you from Tziyon! May you see Yerushalayim prosper all the days of your life,
|
5 May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,
|
|
6 and may you live to see your children's children! Shalom on Isra'el.
|
6 and may you live to see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
