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.
