Verse 2 is found in chapter 128 of Psalms. Psalm 128 describes the blessing of the one who fears the Lord and walks in his ways. Prosperity is expressed through the fruit of labor, a wife as a fruitful vine, and children around the table. Family blessing is immediately connected with the blessing of Jerusalem and Israel, showing that domestic life is not considered separate from the well-being of the wider community.

Perciocchè tu mangerai della fatica delle tue mani; Tu sarai beato, ed egli ti sarà bene.
Pois comerás do trabalho das tuas mãos; feliz serás, e te irá bem.
你要吃勞碌得來的; 你要享福,凡事順利。
