¹ Halleluyah!

How happy is anyone who fears Adonai,
who greatly delights in his mitzvot.
² His descendants will be powerful on earth,
a blessed generation of upright people.
³ Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness stands forever.

⁴ To the upright he shines like a light in the dark,
merciful, compassionate and righteous.
⁵ Things go well with the person who is merciful and lends,
who conducts his affairs with fairness;
⁶ for he will never be moved.
The righteous will be remembered forever.

⁷ He will not be frightened by bad news;
he remains steady, trusting in Adonai.
⁸ His heart is set firm, he will not be afraid,
till finally he looks in triumph at his enemies.
⁹ He distributes freely, he gives to the poor;
his righteousness stands forever.

His power will be increased honorably.
¹⁰ The wicked will be angry when they see this;
they will gnash their teeth and waste away,
the desires of the wicked will come to nothing.
