The Blessed Fear of the LORD

A song of ascents.

¹ Blessed are all who fear the LORD,

who walk in His ways!

² For when you eat the fruit of your labor,

blessings and prosperity will be yours.

³ Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

flourishing within your house,

your sons like olive shoots

sitting around your table.

⁴ In this way indeed shall blessing come

to the man who fears the LORD.

⁵ May the LORD bless you from Zion,

that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life,

⁶ that you may see

your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!
