1 [Aleph] Halelu-JAH. Blessed [is] the man [that] fears the LORD, [Beth that] delights greatly in his commandments.2 [Gimel] His seed shall be mighty upon earth; [Daleth] the generation of the upright shall be blessed.3 [He] Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; [Vau] and his righteousness endures for ever.4 [Zain] A light has shined in the darkness upon the upright: [Cheth] Gracious and merciful and righteous.5 [Teth] A good man has mercy and lends; [Jod] He will govern his affairs with [good] judgment.6 [Caph] Surely he shall not be moved for ever; [Lamed] the righteous shall be in eternal remembrance.7 [Mem] He shall not be afraid of evil rumours; [Nun] his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.8 [Samech] His heart [is] established; he shall not be afraid, [Ain] until he sees [his desire] upon his enemies.9 [Pe] He has dispersed; he has given to the poor; [Tzaddi] his righteousness endures for ever; [Koph] his horn shall be exalted in glory.10 [Resh] The wicked shall see [it] and be furious; [Schin] he shall gnash with his teeth and waste away: [Tau] The desire of the wicked shall perish.:
