The Reward of Obedience to the Lord
1 Happy are those who obey the Lord,
who live by his commands.
2 Your work will provide for your needs;
you will be happy and prosperous.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your home,
and your children will be like young olive trees around your table.
4 A man who obeys the Lord
will surely be blessed like this.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion!
May you see Jerusalem prosper
all the days of your life!
6 May you live to see your grandchildren!
Peace be with Israel!
1 A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes. 2 When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee. 3 Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table. 4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord. 5 The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life. 6 Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
