Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
2For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
3Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
4Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
5May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
6Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
