1 | Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly. |
2 | His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed. |
3 | Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age. |
4 | For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just. |
5 | Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment. |
6 | For he will not be disturbed in eternity. |
7 | The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord. |
8 | His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies. |
9 | He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory. |
10 | The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish. |
