King James Version KJV
1 Praise the LORD ! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands.
1
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
2
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.
3
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
4
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.
5
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
6
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.
7
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
8
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and 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 will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
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.
