1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות אַ֭שְׁרֵי כָּל־יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝הֹלֵ֗ךְ בִּדְרָכָֽיו׃

2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy `art' thou, and good `is' to thee.

2 יְגִ֣יעַ כַּ֭פֶּיךָ כִּ֣י תֹאכֵ֑ל אַ֝שְׁרֶ֗יךָ וְטֹ֣וב לָֽךְ׃

3 Thy wife `is' as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

3 אֶשְׁתְּךָ֤׀ כְּגֶ֥פֶן פֹּרִיָּה֮ בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י בֵ֫יתֶ֥ךָ בָּ֭נֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵ֣י זֵיתִ֑ים סָ֝בִ֗יב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃

4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

4 הִנֵּ֣ה כִי־כֵ֭ן יְבֹ֥רַךְ גָּ֗בֶר יְרֵ֣א יְהוָֽה׃

5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

5 יְבָרֶכְךָ֥ יְהוָ֗ה מִצִּ֫יֹּ֥ון וּ֭רְאֵה בְּט֣וּב יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כֹּ֝֗ל יְמֵ֣י חַיֶּֽיךָ׃

6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!

6 וּרְאֵֽה־בָנִ֥ים לְבָנֶ֑יךָ לֹ֗ום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
