Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Douay-Rheims 1899
Psalms 127
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways. 2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. 3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. 4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. 5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
