1BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, {and} worships the Lord, who walks in His ways {and} lives according to His commandments.
2For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
3Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently {and} worshipfully fears the Lord.
5May the Lord bless you out of Zion [His sanctuary], and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;
6Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
