A Song of degrees.

8,6,8,6

^1Bless'd is each one that fears the Lord,

and walketh in his ways;

^2For of thy labour thou shalt eat,

and happy be always.

^3Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine

by thy house' sides be found:

Thy children like to olive-plants

about thy table round.

^4Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

thus blessed shall he be.

^5The Lord shall out of Sion give

his blessing unto thee:

Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold

whilst thou on earth dost dwell.

^6Thou shalt thy children's children see,

and peace on Israel.
