The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Praise Yah! Blessed is the man, Who fears יהוה, Who has greatly delighted in His commands. 2Mighty in the earth shall be his seed, The generation of the straight ones shall be blessed. 3Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever. 4Light has risen in the darkness to the straight ones, Those showing favour, The compassionate, And the righteous. 5Good is a man showing favour and lending, He sustains his matters in right-ruling. 6For he is never shaken; The righteous is remembered forever. 7He is not afraid of an evil report. His heart is steadfast, trusting in יהוה. 8His heart is upheld, he is not afraid, While he looks on his adversaries. 9He scattered abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness is standing forever. His horn is exalted with esteem. 10The wrong one sees it and shall be vexed; He gnashes his teeth and shall melt. The desire of the wrong ones does perish. |
