Psalm 127 [MT 128]

  • Song of Ascent
  • Wisdom
1

[A Song of Degrees.] Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

᾿ῼδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. - ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΙ πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον, οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ.

2

Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ, καὶ καλῶς σοι ἔσται.

3

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.

ἡ γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν τοῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου.

4

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον.

5

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος ἐκ Σιών, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου·

6

And mayest thou see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου. εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.
