Dear Polychroni,

The Masoretes put a stop in the verse as follows: "Blessed is he that comes
/ in the name of the Lord" , supporting your translation. Also Rabbi David
Kimche (=RaDaK, a medieval grammarian and exegete) interprets as follows
(my translation): "We have blessed you from the Lord's house, and you will
be blessed in His name."
