1Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.2You will eat the fruit of your labour; blessings and prosperity will be yours.3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots round your table.4Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.5May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.6May you live to see your children’s children – peace be on Israel.
