JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
1A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
2It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
6And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
