A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways! (LXX 127:1; Rahlfs 127:1)
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת אַ֭שְׁרֵי כָּל־יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝הֹלֵ֗ךְ בִּדְרָכָֽיו׃
2For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours. (LXX 127:2; Rahlfs 127:2)
יְגִ֣יעַ כַּ֭פֶּיךָ כִּ֣י תֹאכֵ֑ל אַ֝שְׁרֶ֗יךָ וְט֣וֹב לָֽךְ׃
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table. (LXX 127:3; Rahlfs 127:3)
אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤ ׀ כְּגֶ֥פֶן פֹּרִיָּה֮ בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ בָּ֭נֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י זֵיתִ֑ים סָ֝בִ֗יב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃
4In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the Lord. (LXX 127:4; Rahlfs 127:4)
הִנֵּ֣ה כִי־כֵ֭ן יְבֹ֥רַךְ גָּ֗בֶר יְרֵ֣א יְהוָֽה׃
5May the Lord bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life, (LXX 127:5; Rahlfs 127:5)
יְבָרֶכְךָ֥ יְהוָ֗ה מִצִּ֫יּ֥וֹן וּ֭רְאֵה בְּט֣וּב יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כֹּ֝֗ל יְמֵ֣י חַיֶּֽיךָ׃
6that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel! (LXX 127:6; Rahlfs 127:6)
וּרְאֵֽה־בָנִ֥ים לְבָנֶ֑יךָ שָׁ֝ל֗וֹם עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
