1 Blessed are all who fear the
Lord
,(a)
who walk in obedience to him.(b)
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;(c)
blessings and prosperity(d) will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine(e)
within your house;
your children(f) will be like olive shoots(g)
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing(h)
for the man who fears the
Lord
.(i)
5 May the
Lord
bless you from Zion;(j)
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem(k)
all the days of your life.

1 "They have greatly oppressed(a) me from my youth,"(b)
let Israel say;(c)
2 "they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory(d) over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the
Lord
is righteous;(e)
he has cut me free(f) from the cords of the wicked."(g)
5 May all who hate Zion(h)
be turned back in shame.(i)
6 May they be like grass on the roof,(j)
which withers(k) before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(l)
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
"The blessing of the
Lord
be on you;
we bless you(m) in the name of the
Lord
."

Lord
;
2
Lord, hear my voice.(c)
Let your ears be attentive(d)

3 If you,
Lord
, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?(f)
4 But with you there is forgiveness,(g)
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.(h)
5 I wait for the
Lord
,(i) my whole being waits,(j)
and in his word(k) I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen(l) wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.(m)
7 Israel, put your hope(n) in the
Lord
,
for with the
Lord
is unfailing love(o)
and with him is full redemption.(p)
8 He himself will redeem(q) Israel
from all their sins.(r)
