1A song of the degrees. 2When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: then wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee. 3Thy wife is then as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table. 4Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord. 5May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6And see thou thy children’s children: may there be peace upon Israel.
