King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
1
How joyful are those who fear the LORD — all who follow his ways!
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
2
You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be!
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
3
Your 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.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
4
That is the LORD ’s blessing for those who fear him.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
5
May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
6
May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!
