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