1 Blessed is the man that | 3 feareth the | Lord ||

he hath great de- | light in | his com- | mandments. ||

2 His seed shall be | mighty up•on | earth ||

the generation of the | faithful | shall be | blessed. ||

3 Riches and plenteousness shall 3 be | in his | house ||

and his | righteous•ness en- | 3 dureth for | ever. ||

4 Unto the godly there ariseth up | light • in the | darkness ||

he is | 3 merciful, | loving, • and | righteous. ||

5 A good man is | merci•ful, and | lendeth ||

and will | guide his | words • with dis- | cretion. ||

6 For he shall | 3 never be | moved ||

and the righteous shall be | had in • ever- | 3 lasting re- | membrance. ||

7 He will not be afraid of any | evil | tidings ||

for his heart standeth | fast, • and be- | lieveth • in the | Lord. ||

8 His heart is established, and | will not | shrink ||

until he | see • his de- | sire up•on his | ene•mies. ||

9 He hath dispersed abroad, and | given • to the | poor ||

and his righteousness remaineth for ever; * his | horn shall • be ex- | 3 alted with | honour. ||

10 The ungodly shall see it, 3 and | it shall | grieve him ||

he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; * the de- | sire of • the un- | 3 godly shall | perish. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
