³² And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.

¹ `Aleph.' O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,

² O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.

²⁸ And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping `it'!'

¹ A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

² But -- in the law of Jehovah `is' his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

³ And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

⁴ Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away!

⁷ And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.

²⁴ And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth.
