R (1a) Blessed are those who fear the Lord.
Blessed are you who fear the Lord,
who walk in his ways!
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork;
blessed shall you be, and favored. R
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the recesses of your home;
Your children like olive plants
around your table. R
Behold, thus is the man blessed
who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless you from Zion:
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;/ you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom. Alleluia, alleluia.
