About this chapterA blessing for everyone who fears the Lord and walks in his ways. Such a person will enjoy the fruit of their labor, and be blessed and well. A wife is pictured like a fruitful vine in the house, and children like olive shoots around the table, images of a flourishing home. The psalm prays that the Lord bless from Zion, so that they may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all their days and live to see their children's children. It ends with a wish for peace on Israel. It shows that the joy of daily life is a gift that follows reverence for God.

1Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways! 2For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table. 4In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD. 5May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life, 6that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
