A song of ascents. Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.

The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
