1(112) Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.
1Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
2The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.
3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.
4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.
5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.
7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.
8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.
9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
