1 Alleluia. 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.
