Lyrics:

Refrain: O blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.

1. O blessed are those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways!
By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper.

2. Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your chidren like shoots of the olive
around your table.

3. Indeed thus shall be blest
all those who fear the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
all the days of your life!
