Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
Language: Latin
1 [Canticum graduum.] Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus. 2 Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit. 3 Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ. 4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum. 5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ. 6 Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.
F. Mendelssohn sets line 1

Wohl dem, der den Herren
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
1 [Ein Lied im höhern Chor.] Wohl dem, der den Herren fürchtet und auf seinen Wegen gehet! 2 Du wirst dich nähren deiner Hände Arbeit; wohl dir, du hast es gut! 3 Dein Weib wird sein wie ein fruchtbar' Weinstock um dein Haus herum, deine Kinder wie die Ölzweige um deinen Tisch her. 4 Siehe, also wird gesegnet der Mann, der den Herren fürchtet! 5 Der Herr wird dich segnen aus Zion, dass du sehest das Glück Jerusalem dein Leben lang 6 und sehest deiner Kinder Kinder.
