1Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

4Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

6For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

9He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

10The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
