The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
1 A song of ascents: How happy is everyone who fears ADONAI, who lives by his ways.
1
A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways.
2 You will eat what your hands have produced; you will be happy and prosperous.
2
When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with 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 shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table.
4 This is the kind of blessing that will fall on him who fears ADONAI.
4
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord.
5 May ADONAI bless you from Tziyon! May you see Yerushalayim prosper all the days of your life,
5
The Lord bless you out of Zion, And 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
Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
