1 Praise ye the Lord.

(א) Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,

(ב) That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 (ג) His seed shall be mighty upon earth:

(ד) The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 (ה) Wealth and riches shall be in his house:

(ו) And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 (ז) Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

(ח) He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 (ט) A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:

(י) He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 (כ) Surely he shall not be moved for ever:

(ל) The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 (מ) He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:

(נ) His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

8 (ס) His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,

(ע) Until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 (פ) He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor;

(צ) His righteousness endureth for ever;

(ק) His horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 (ר) The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;

(ש) He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:

(ת) The desire of the wicked shall perish.
