- Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
those who are guided by it will grow in understanding.
His praise will last forever. - Alleluia.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his precepts. - The future bodes well for him
who is generous in helping those in need
and who conducts his affairs with justice. - He will never be swayed;
the righteous man will be remembered forever. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your kindness and faithfulness. - Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he pleases. - I love the Lord because he has heard my voice
and listened to my cry for mercy,
because he has inclined his ear to me
on the day when I called out to him. - In my distress I called out to the Lord;
he answered by setting me free. - With the Lord to protect me I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me? - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to place your trust in mortals. - This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us exult and rejoice in it. - O Lord, grant us salvation.
O Lord, grant us success.

We bless you from the house of the Lord. - Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in accord with the law of the Lord. - Blessed are those who observe his statutes
and seek him with their whole heart. - I will praise you in sincerity of heart
as I ponder your righteous judgments. - How can a young man lead a spotless life?
By living according to your word. - I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your precepts. - I treasure your word in my heart
for fear that I may sin against you. - I rejoice in following your statutes
more than I would rejoice in endless riches. - I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I have set your judgments before me. - Dispose my heart to follow your statutes
and to flee selfish gain. - I will walk in complete freedom
because I have sought your commands. - I will make haste and not delay
to observe your precepts. - Never will I forget your commands,
for through them you have given me life.
