A song of ascents.
1How blessed is every one of the Lord’s loyal followers,each one who keeps his commands!
2You will eat what you worked so hard to grow.You will be blessed and secure.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vinein the inner rooms of your house;your children will be like olive branches,as they sit all around your table.
4Yes indeed, the man who fears the Lordwill be blessed in this way.
5May the Lord bless you from Zion,that you might see Jerusalem prosperall the days of your life,
6and that you might see your grandchildren.May Israel experience peace!
