Chapter 127

The fear of God is the way to happiness.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle.

2. 2

   For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

3. 3

   Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4. 4

   Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5. 5

   May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayst thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6. 6

   And mayst thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.
