1
A song of ascents.
ωδη των αναβαθμων μακαριοι παντες οι φοβουμενοι τον κυριον οι πορευομενοι εν ταις οδοις αυτου
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
2 τους πονους των καρπων σου φαγεσαι μακαριος ει και καλως σοι εσται
For you shall eat the labour of yours hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
3 η γυνη σου ως αμπελος ευθηνουσα εν τοις κλιτεσι της οικιας σου οι υιοι σου ως νεοφυτα ελαιων κυκλω της τραπεζης σου
Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of yours house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
4 ιδου ουτως ευλογηθησεται ανθρωπος ο φοβουμενος τον κυριον
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
5 ευλογησαι σε κυριος εκ σιων και ιδοις τα αγαθα ιερουσαλημ πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου
The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 και ιδοις υιους των υιων σου ειρηνη επι τον ισραηλ
Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.
