1 A song of ascents. How blessed is every one of the Lord’s loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands!
2 You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure.
3 Your 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.
4 Yes indeed, the man who fears the Lord will be blessed in this way.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,
6 and that you might see your grandchildren. May Israel experience peace!
