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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

2 potens in terra erit semen eius generatio rectorum benedicetur

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 confirmatum est cor eius non commovebitur donec dispiciat inimicos suos

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
