O BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD

Antiphon 1 : O blessed are those who fear the Lord
And walk in his ways!

Antiphon 2: May the Lord bless and protect us
All the days of our lives.
By the labour of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper;
Your wife like a fruitful vine
In the heart of your house;
Your children like shoots of the olive,
Around your table.

2. Indeed, thus shall be blessed
The man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Sion
All the days of your life!
May you see your children’s children
In a happy Jerusalem!

3. Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit,
Both now and for ever,
World without end. Amen.
On Israel, peace!
