[[Praise ye the Lord.]]
[1] Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and delighteth greatly in his commandments.
[2] His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
[3] Riches and treasures shall be in his house, and his righteousness endureth forever.
[4] Unto the righteous ariseth light in darkness: he is merciful and full of compassion and righteous.
[5] A good man is merciful and lendeth, and will measure his affairs by judgment.
[6] Surely he shall never be moved: but the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
[7] He will not be afraid of evil tidings: for his heart is fixed, and believeth in the Lord.
[8] His heart is stablished: therefore he will not fear, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
[9] He hath distributed and given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever: his horn shall be exalted with glory.
[10] The wicked shall see it and be angry: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
