But He said, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Halleluyah! Happy is the man who fears Adonai, who delights greatly in His mitzvot.
A Song of Ascents. Happy is everyone in awe of Adonai, who walks in His ways,
One who keeps a mitzvah guards his soul, but one who neglects His ways will die.
“So now, children, listen to me! Blessed are those who keep my ways.
But answering, He said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who are hearing the word of God and doing it.”
If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them!”
How fortunate is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and those who hear and keep what has been written in it—for the time is near.
How fortunate are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the Tree of Life and may enter through the gates into the city.
