| 2You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure. | 2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. |
| 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. | 3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. |
| 4Yes indeed, the man who fears the LORD will be blessed in this way. | 4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. |
| 5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life, | 5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. |
| 6and that you might see your grandchildren. May Israel experience peace! | 6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. |
