| King James Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. | 1Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! |
| 2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. | 2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. |
| 3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. | 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. |
| 4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. | 4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. |
| 5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. | 5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! |
| 6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. | 6May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel! |
