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 blessed shall be
the generation.

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 righteous, is he.

5.A good man doth his favour 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 stablished,
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 honour shall
his horn be raised high.

10.The wicked shall it see, and fret,
his teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
shall utterly decay.
