3 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!
Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,
Our help `is' in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God, Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
