The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 A song of ascents: How happy is everyone who fears ADONAI, who lives by his ways.
1
<A Song of the going up.> Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
2 You will eat what your hands have produced; you will be happy and prosperous.
2
You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
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 fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
4 This is the kind of blessing that will fall on him who fears ADONAI.
4
See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
5 May ADONAI bless you from Tziyon! May you see Yerushalayim prosper all the days of your life,
5
May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 and may you live to see your children's children! Shalom on Isra'el.
6
May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
