1 [[A Song of Ascents.]] How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways! 2 The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine! 3 Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house,–Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table. 4 Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh. 5 Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion,–and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life! 6 And behold thou thy children's children,–Prosperity on Israel!
