1 alleluia reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae beatus vir qui timet Dominum in mandatis eius volet nimis

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 potens in terra erit semen eius generatio rectorum benedicetur

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 gloria et divitiae in domo eius et iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis misericors et miserator et iustus

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

5 iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat disponet sermones suos in iudicio

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 in memoria aeterna erit iustus ab auditione mala non timebit paratum cor eius sperare in Domino

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 confirmatum est cor eius non commovebitur donec dispiciat inimicos suos

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 dispersit dedit pauperibus iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 peccator videbit et irascetur dentibus suis fremet et tabescet desiderium peccatorum peribit

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
