1 That man is blest who fears the Lord,
And walketh in his ways;
For of thy labor thou shalt eat,
And prosper all thy days.
2 Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine
By thy house sides be found:
Thy children like to olive-plants
Thy table shall surround.
3 Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
Thus blessed shall he be.
The Lord shall out of Zion give
His blessing unto thee.
4 Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold,
Whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
Thou shalt thy children's children see,
And peace on Israel.
1 Blest the man who fears Jehovah,'
Walking ever in his ways;
Thou shalt eat of thy hands' labor,
And be happy all thy days.
2 Like a vine in fruit abounding,
In thy house thy wife is found;
And like olive-plants, thy children,
Compassing thy table round.
3 Lo, on him that fears Jehovah,
Shall this blessedness attend;
Thus Jehovah out of Zion
Shall to thee his blessings send.
4 Thou shalt see Jerusalem prosper,
Long as thou on earth shalt dwell;
Thou shalt see thy children's children,
And the peace of Israel.
