[3] Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of your house; Your children like olive plants, Around your table. [4] Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh. [5] May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. [6] Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
