Μακάριοι πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον, οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ. 2 Τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ καὶ καλῶς σοι ἔσται. 3 Ἡ γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν ταῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου. 4 Ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον. 5 Εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος ἐκ Σιὼν, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου· 6 Καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου· εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
