1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.3 Wealth and riches {shall be} in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see {his desire} upon his oppressors.9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.10 The wicked {man} shall see {it} and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

1 Halleluja! Alef. Welgeluksalig is die man wat die HERE vrees, Bet. wat 'n groot welbehae in sy gebooie het.2 Gimel. Sy nageslag sal geweldig wees op die aarde; Dalet. die geslag van die opregtes sal geseënword.3 He. Oorvloed en rykdom is in sy huis; Wau. en sy geregtigheid bestaan tot in ewigheid.4 Sajin. Vir die opregtes gaan Hy op as 'n lig in die duisternis: Get. genadig en barmhartig en regverdig.5 Tet. Gelukkig die man wat hom ontferm en uitleen, Jod. wat sy sake volgens reg besorg.6 Kaf. Want hy sal nooit wankel nie; Lamed. die regverdige sal in ewige gedagtenis wees.7 Mem. Hy vrees nie vir slegte tyding nie; Noen. sy hart is gerus, vol vertroue op die HERE.8 Samek. Vas is sy hart, hy vrees nie. Ajin. totdat hy op sy teëstanders neersien.9 Pe. Hy strooi uit, hy gee aan die behoeftiges; Sade. sy geregtigheid bestaan tot in ewigheid; Kof. sy horing word verhoog in eer.10 Resj. Die goddelose sien dit en is vererg; Sjin. hy kners met sy tande en smelt weg; Tau. die begeerte van die goddelose mense vergaan.
