1Ein Lied für die Pilgerfahrt nach Jerusalem. Glücklich ist der, der den HERRN fürchtet und auf seinen Wegen geht! (Ps 112,1; Ps 119,3)2Du wirst die Frucht deiner Arbeit genießen. Du wirst glücklich sein und es wird dir gut gehen! (Pred 8,12)3Deine Frau wird sein wie ein fruchtbarer Weinstock, der in deinem Hause aufblüht. Und sieh nur die vielen Kinder. Sie sitzen um deinen Tisch, stark und gesund wie junge Olivenbäume. (Ps 52,10)4So segnet der HERR den, der ihn fürchtet.5Der HERR segne dich von Zion her. Dein Leben lang sollst du das Glück Jerusalems sehen (Ps 122,9; Ps 134,3)6und dich an deinen Nachkommen erfreuen. Frieden komme über Israel! (1Mo 48,11)
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.
1A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! (Ps 112,1; Ps 119,1; Ps 120,1; Spr 8,32)2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. (Ps 109,11; Jes 3,10)3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. (1Mo 49,22; Ps 52,8; Hes 19,10)4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.5The Lord bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! (Ps 20,2; Ps 122,9; Ps 134,3; Ps 135,21)6May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel! (Hi 42,16; Ps 125,5; Spr 17,6)
