Yes. The sun has entered.... Blessed be he, who fears the Lord, Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, And walks in his ways, Qui ambulant in viis ejus. Thou shalt feed thyself with the work of thy hands, Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis; Blessed be thou and peace be with thee, Beatus es et bene tibi erit. Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine, Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, Within thy house, In lateribus domus tuae. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum, Thy children shall be like olive branches about thy table, In circuitu mensae tuae. See, how blessed is the man, Ecce sic benedicetur homo, Who feareth the Lord, Qui timet Dominum!
