A Song of degrees.
1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be , and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
1 canticum graduum
saepe expugnaverunt me ab adulescentia mea dicat nunc Israhel
2 saepe expugnaverunt me ab adulescentia mea
sed non potuerunt mihi
3 super cervicem meam arabant arantes
prolongaverunt sulcum suum
4 Dominus iustus concidet laqueos impiorum
5 confundantur et revertantur retrorsum
omnes qui oderunt Sion
6 fiant sicut faenum tectorum
quod statim ut viruerit arescet
7 de quo non implebit manum suam messor
et sinum suum manipulos faciens
8 de quo non dixerunt transeuntes benedictio Domini super vos
benediximus vobis in nomine Domini
