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.
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
1Blessed are all those who have respect for the LORD. They live as he wants them to live.2Your work will give you what you need. Blessings and good things will come to you.3As a vine bears a lot of fruit, so may your wife have many children by you. May they sit around your table like young olive trees.4Only a man who has respect for the LORD will be blessed like that.5May the LORD bless you from Zion. May you enjoy the good things that come to Jerusalem all the days of your life.6May you live to see your grandchildren. May Israel enjoy peace.
