1 Praise Yah!
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright,
gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.
8 His heart is established.
He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will 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.
