1Praise the everlasting. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, and hath great delight in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth, the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.
3Riches and plentiousness shall be in his house, and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness: he is merciful, loving and righteous.
5Well is he(him) that is merciful, and lendeth gladly, and pondereth his words with discretion.
6For he shall never be moved, the righteous shall be had in an everlasting remembrance.
7He will not be afraid for any evil tidings, his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD.
8His heart is stablished, he will not shrink, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath sparsed abroad, and given to the poor, his righteousness remaineth for ever, his horn shall be exalted with honor.
10The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, and the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
