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.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,
to eat the bread of sorrows:

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:
except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
