| 1 | Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways. | Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis eius. | Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Μακάριοι πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον, οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ. |
| 2 | For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. | Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit. | Τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ καὶ καλῶς σοι ἔσται. |
| 3 | Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. | Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae; filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae. | Ἡ γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν ταῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου. |
| 4 | Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. | Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum. | Ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον. |
| 5 | May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. | Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae. | Εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος ἐκ Σιὼν, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου· |
| 6 | And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel. | Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël. | Καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου· εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ. |
