Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways, for thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be a fruitful Vine by the sides of thine house, thy children like Olive Plants round about thy Table. Behold that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion, and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life; yea thou shalt see thy children's Children and peace upon Israel.

As it is sung.
Blessed art thou that fearest God, And walkest in his way. For of thy Labour thou shalt eat, Happy art thou, I say. Like fruitful Vines on thy House side, So doth thy wife spring out, Thy Children stand like Olive Plants, Thy Table round about. Thus art thou blest that fearest God, And he shall let thee see. ⟨p. 157⟩The promised Jerusalem, And her felicity. Thou shalt thy Children's Children see, To thy great Joys increase. And likewise grace on Israel, Prosperity and Peace.
