The Blessed Fear of the LORD
(Psalm 112:1–10)

A song of ascents.

1Blessed are all who fear the LORD,

who walk in His ways!

2For when you eat the fruit of your labor,

blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

flourishing within your house,

your sons like olive shoots

sitting around your table.

4In this way indeed shall blessing come

to the man who fears the LORD.

5May the LORD bless you from Zion,

that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life,

6that you may see

your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!
