Blessedness of the fear of Jehovah.

A Song of Ascents.

128 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah,
That walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands:
Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of thy house;
Thy children like olive plants,
Round about thy table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
That feareth Jehovah.
Jehovah bless thee out of Zion:
And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Yea, see thou thy children’s children.
[a]Peace be upon Israel.
