1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

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.
