World English Bible
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
1Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it 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 to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
3Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his 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 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 who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
6And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
