The plowers plowed upon my back:
they made long their furrows.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth,
may Israel now say:
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
yet they have not prevailed against me.

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.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine
by the sides of thine house:
thy children like olive plants
round about thy table.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands:
happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD;
that walketh in his ways.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
