[Alleluia.]
[1] Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.
[2] His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
[3] Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.
[4] To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.
[5] The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.
[6] For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
[7] He shall not be afraid of any evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.
[8] His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see his desire upon his enemies.
[9] He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
[10] The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
