Žalmy

Biblia - Sväté písmo

(UKJV - Anglický - Updated King James)

Ž 128, 1-6

1 "Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways. " 2 For you shall eat the labour of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you. 3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table. 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD. 5 The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6 Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.

Z 128 - Žalmista vyzdvihuje šťastie a spokojnosť toho, kto bohabojne slúži Pánovi.

Z 128,5-6 - Tieto verše sa zdajú byť liturgickým požehnaním. Pútnikom, čo spievali túto pieseň, kňaz požehnal a žičil im, aby ich Pán požehnal tak, ako prisľúbil svojim ctiteľom. Šťastie, dlhý život, početné potomstvo zodpovedajú prísľubom za verné plnenie Božích príkazov (Lv 26,9; Dt 28,4 n.).
