New Living Translation | NET Bible |
1How joyful are those who fear the LORD— all who follow his ways! | 1A song of ascents. How blessed is every one of the LORD's loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands! |
2You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! | 2You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure. |
3Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. | 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner rooms of your house; your children will be like olive branches, as they sit all around your table. |
4That is the LORD’s blessing for those who fear him. | 4Yes indeed, the man who fears the LORD will be blessed in this way. |
5May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. | 5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life, |
6May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace! | 6and that you might see your grandchildren. May Israel experience peace! |
