1A pilgrim song All you who fear God,how blessed you are! how happily you walk on his smooth straight road!

2You worked hard and deserve all you've got coming. Enjoy the blessing! Revel in the goodness!

3Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes, your household lush as a vineyard, The children around your table as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.

4Stand in awe of God's Yes. Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

5Enjoy the good life in Jerusalem every day of your life.

6And enjoy your grandchildren. Peace to Israel!
