English Standard Version | NET Bible |
1Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! | 1A song of ascents. How blessed is every one of the LORD's loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands! |
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. | 2You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure. |
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. | 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner rooms of your house; your children will be like olive branches, as they sit all around your table. |
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. | 4Yes indeed, the man who fears the LORD will be blessed in this way. |
5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! | 5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life, |
6May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel! | 6and that you might see your grandchildren. May Israel experience peace! |
