{A song of the stairs} Blessed are all they that fear the LORD, and walk in his ways.

Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thy house, thy children like the olive branches round about thy table.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thine own hands; O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.

The LORD shall so bless thee out of Zion, that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long.

Yea, that thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

Lo, thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the LORD.
