A Song of Ascents. Blessed [happy and sheltered by God's favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience], Who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.
For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands, You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within the innermost part of your house; Your children will be like olive plants Around your table.
Behold, for so shall the man be blessed and divinely favored Who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience].
May the LORD bless you from Zion [His holy mountain], And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;
Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
