1 Praise ye Jehovah.\par\tab Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,\par\tab That delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth:\par\tab The generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house;\par\tab And his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:\par\tab {\i He is} gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;\par\tab He shall maintain his cause in judgment. 6 For he shall never be moved;\par\tab The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:\par\tab His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,\par\tab Until he see {\i his desire} upon his adversaries. 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;\par\tab His righteousness endureth for ever:\par\tab His horn shall be exalted with honor. 10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;\par\tab He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:\par\tab The desire of the wicked shall perish. |
