1 «Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Μακάριος πας ο φοβούμενος τον Κύριον, ο περιπατών εν ταις οδοίς αυτού. 2 Διότι θέλεις τρώγει από του κόπου των χειρών σου· μακάριος θέλεις είσθαι, και ευτυχία εις σε. 3 Η γυνή σου θέλει είσθαι ως άμπελος εύκαρπος εις τα πλάγια της οικίας σου· οι υιοί σου ως νεόφυτα ελαιών κύκλω της τραπέζης σου. 4 Ιδού, ούτω θέλει ευλογηθή ο άνθρωπος ο φοβούμενος τον Κύριον. 5 Ο Κύριος θέλει σε ευλογήσει εκ της Σιών, και θέλεις ιδεί το καλόν της Ιερουσαλήμ πάσας τας ημέρας της ζωής σου· 6 και θέλεις ιδεί υιούς των υιών σου· ειρήνη επί τον Ισραήλ.
