O BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD

Antiphon 1 : O blessed are those who fear the Lord\nAnd walk in his ways!\nAntiphon 2: May the Lord bless and protect us\nAll the days of our lives.\nBy the labour of your hands you shall eat.\nYou will be happy and prosper;\nYour wife like a fruitful vine\nIn the heart of your house;\nYour children like shoots of the olive,\nAround your table.\n2. Indeed, thus shall be blessed\nThe man who fears the Lord.\nMay the Lord bless you from Sion\nAll the days of your life!\nMay you see your children’s children\nIn a happy Jerusalem!\n3. Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit,\nBoth now and for ever,\nWorld without end. Amen.\nOn Israel, peace!
