Blessed Are Those Who Fear the Lord

This is Psalm 128 for the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A by Paul Mason from Psalms for All Time Vol 3.

This is a glorious setting for a dubious psalm addressed to smug successful men.

Response

Blessed are those who fear the Lord.

O blessed are those who fear the Lord.

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, and walk in his ways!

By the labour of your hands you shall eat.

You will be blessed and prosper.

2 Your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house;

Your children like shoots of the olive around your table.

3 Indeed thus shall be blessed the husband that fears the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion.

May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.
