1Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
10The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
