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. |
