Blessings of the God-fearing

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in His ways.

When you eat the labor of your hands,
you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants all around your table.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.

The Lord bless you out of Zion,
and may you see the good of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

Yes, may you see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel!

PSALMS 128

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are the children of one's youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
they shall not be ashamed,
but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

PSALMS 127:3-5

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style.
That our barns may be full, supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields.

That our oxen may be well-laden;
That there be no breaking in our going out;
That there be no outcry in our streets.

Happy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!

PSALMS 144: 12-15

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who delights greatly in His commandments.

His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.

PSALMS 112:1-3
