 1  Praise ye the Lord. The man is blessed
       that fears the Lord aright,
    He who in his commandements
       doth greatly take delight.
 2  His seed and offspring powerful
       shall be the earth upon:
    Of upright men blessèd shall be
       the generätion.

 3  Riches and wealth shall ever be
       within his house in store;
    And his unspotted righteousness
       endures for evermore.
 4  Unto the upright light doth rise,
       though he in darkness be:
    Compassionate, and merciful,
       and rïghteous, is he.

 5  A good man doth his favor show,
       and doth to others lend:
    He with discretion his affairs
       will guide unto the end.
 6  Surely there is not any thing
       that ever shall him move:
    The righteous man's memorial
       shall everlasting prove.

 7  When he shall evil tidings hear,
       he shall not be afraid:
    His heart is fixed, his confidence
       upon the Lord is stayed.
 8  His heart is firmly stablishèd,
       afraid he shall not be,
    Until upon his enemies
       he his desire shall see.

 9  He hath dispersed, giv'n to the poor;
       his righteousness shall be
    To ages all; with honor shall
       his horn be raisèd high.
10  The wicked shall it see, and fret,
       his teeth gnash, melt away:
    What wicked men do most desire
       shall utterly decay.
