1  The song of degrees. Blessed be all men, that dread the Lord; that go in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the travails of thine hands; thou art blessed, and it shall be well to thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a plenteous vine; in the sides of thine house. Thy sons as the new springs of olive trees; in the compass of thy board.

4 Lo! so a man shall be blessed; that dreadeth the Lord.

5 The Lord bless thee from Zion; and see thou the goods of Jerusalem in all the days of thy life.

6 And see thou the sons of thy sons; see thou peace on Israel.
