1 Aleluia!
Bem-aventurado o homem que teme ao Senhor
e se compraz nos seus mandamentos.
2 A sua descendência será poderosa na terra;
será abençoada a geração dos justos.
3 Na sua casa há prosperidade e riqueza,
e a sua justiça permanece para sempre.
4 Ao justo, nasce luz nas trevas;
ele é benigno, misericordioso e justo.
5 Ditoso o homem que se compadece e empresta;
ele defenderá a sua causa em juízo;
6 não será jamais abalado;
será tido em memória eterna.
7 Não se atemoriza de más notícias;
o seu coração é firme, confiante no Senhor.
8 O seu coração, bem firmado, não teme,
até ver cumprido, nos seus adversários, o seu desejo.
9 Distribui, dá aos pobres;
a sua justiça permanece para sempre,
e o seu poder se exaltará em glória.
10 O perverso vê isso e se enraivece;
range os dentes e se consome;
o desejo dos perversos perecerá.
1 Praise ye Jehovah.
Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,
That delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house;
And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;
He shall maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he shall never be moved;
The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,
Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;
His righteousness endureth for ever:
His horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
1 Praise the LORD. "Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.
2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn "will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
