The Blessed Fear of the LORD

(Psalm 112:1–10)

A song of ascents.

Blessed are all who fear the LORD,

who walk in His ways!

2 

For when you eat the fruit of your labor,

blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

[flourishing] within your house,

your sons like olive shoots

[sitting] around your table.

4 

In this way indeed shall blessing come

to the man who fears the LORD.

5 

May the LORD bless you from Zion,

that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life,

6 

that you may see

your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!
