1
A Song of Degrees.
1
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.
2
Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.
4
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
5
May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6
And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
