You worked hard and deserve all you’ve got coming.
Enjoy the blessing! Revel in the goodness!
3–4Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes,
your household lush as a vineyard,
The children around your table
as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.
Stand in awe of God’s Yes.
Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

By the sides of thine house:

Round about thy table.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
