Blessedness of the Fear of Jehovah

A Song of Ascents.


[1]	BLESSED is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.
[2]	For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
[3]	Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants Round about thy table.
[4]	Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.
[5]	Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
[6]	Yea, see thou thy children’s children. Peace 1 be upon Israel.

Note 1. Or, And peace upon Israel. [back]
