A song of degrees.
1 BLessed is every one
that doth Jehovah fear:
that walks his ways along.
2 For thou shalt eat with cheer
thy hands labour:
blest shalt thou be,
it well with thee
shall be therefore.
3 Thy wife like fruitful vine
shall be by thine house side:
the children that be thine
like olive plants abide
about thy board.
4 Behold thus blest
that man doth rest,
that fears the Lord.
Jehovah shall thee bless
from Sion, and shalt see
Jerusalem’s goodness
all thy life’s days that be.
5 And shalt view well
thy children then
with their children,
peace on Isr’el.
