Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

1 Hallelujah! Blessed the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commands.

2 His descendants shall be mighty in the land, a generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house; his righteousness shall endure forever.

4 Light shines through the darkness for the upright; gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 It is good for the man gracious in lending, who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 For he shall never be shaken; the righteous shall be remembered forever.

7 He shall not fear an ill report; his heart is steadfast, trusting the LORD.

8 His heart is tranquil, without fear, till at last he looks down on his foes.

9 Lavishly he gives to the poor; his righteousness shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked sees and is angry; gnashes his teeth and wastes away; the desire of the wicked come to nothing.
