NEW AMERICAN BIBLEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Hallelujah! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in God's commands.1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 Their descendants shall be mighty in the land, generation upright and blessed.2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in their homes; their prosperity shall endure forever.3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 They shine through the darkness, a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and just.4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 All goes well for those gracious in lending, who conduct their affairs with justice.5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 They shall never be shaken; the just shall be remembered forever.6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 They shall not fear an ill report; their hearts are steadfast, trusting the LORD.7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 Their hearts are tranquil, without fear, till at last they look down on their foes.8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 Lavishly they give to the poor; their prosperity shall endure forever; their horn shall be exalted in honor.9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall be angry to see this; they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked come to nothing.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.
