And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
And blessed {H1288} be thy advice {H2940}, and blessed {H1288} be thou, which hast kept {H3607} me this day {H3117} from coming {H935} to shed blood {H1818}, and from avenging {H3467} myself with mine own hand {H3027}.
and blessed be your tactfulness, and blessed be yourself for having kept me today from the guilt of shedding blood and taking vengeance into my own hands.
Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
