1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD,

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 shall be in his house:

And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:

He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever:

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:

His heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,

Until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor;

His righteousness endureth for ever;

His horn shall be exalted with honour.

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.
