Psalm text (Ps 128:1-2,3,4-5)

Happy are those who fear the Lord.
or
Happy are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.

Happy is the one who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.

Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless you from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

Gospel Verse (Col 3:15a,16a)

May the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, and the fullness of his message live within you.

around your table.

Behold, this is the man blest who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless Your from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
