Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to him.
2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.
2
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.
4
Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the LORD.
5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,
5
May the LORD bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
6
May you live to see your children’s children— peace be on Israel.
