Ur'e vanim l'vanekha,

English Translation
Happy are all
who fear the Lord,
who follow His ways.
You shall enjoy the fruit of your labors;
you shall be happy and you shall prosper.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children, like olive shoots
around your table.
This is the blessing
of one who reveres the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion;
may you share the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children.
May there be peace of Israel! |
