1 Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgement.

6 Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

7 He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

9 He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
