Psal. 128. Beati omnes qui.

Canticum Graduum.

1

All happinesse, who ever thou art,
attend upon thy daies,
To feare the Lord that fram'st thy heart,
thy feet, to walke his waies.

2

The labour of thy hands, thy messe
of savoury meat shall be:
Thee, and thy dwelling place to blesse,
shall goodnesse dwell with thee.

3

Thy wife, as spreads the fruitfull Vine,
thy houses sides shall bound:
Thy sons, like Olive-plants, shall twine
about thy Table round.

4

These blessings loe, and many more,
this life shall here afford;
And better farre there are in store,
for them that feare the Lord.

5

Such happinesse the Lord to thee
shall out of Sion give:
The God of Salem shalt thou see,
while thou hast day to live.

6

And ended ere thy daies shall be,
thy seed to prosper well:
Thy childrens children shalt thou see,
and peace on Israel.
