Symphony.
Blessed are they that fear the Lord
And walk in his ways
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands.
O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thine house:
Thy children like the olive branches round about thy table.
The Lord thy from out of Sion shall so bless thee
That thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children,
and peace shall be upon Israel.
O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
Lo, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
Alleluia.
