Blessedness of the Fear of the Lord.

A Song of Ascents.

128 ^(A)Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,

You will be happy and ^(E)it will go well for you.

Your children like ^(G)olive plants
Around your table.

Who fears the Lord be blessed.

And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

^(K)Peace be upon Israel!
