1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

4 To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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