PSALM 127
Response:
O blessed are those who fear the Lord.
Verse 1:
O blessed are those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways!
By the labour of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper.
Verse 2:
Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive,
around your table.
Verse 3:
Indeed thus shall be blessed
the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
in a happy Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
