Only Version ❧ CM/CMD · 8·6·8·6 (D)
1 Praise ye the Lord. Blest is the man that doth Jehovah fear, that doth in his commandements his spirit greatly cheer. 2 The very mighty upon earth shall be that are his seed: they also shall be blessed that from th’ upright do proceed.
3 And there shall be within his house both wealth and much rich store: his righteousness it also doth endure for evermore. 4 In midst of darkness there doth light to upright ones arise: both gracious, and pitiful, righteous he is likewise.
5 A good man he doth favour show and ready is to lend: and with discretion his affairs he carries to an end. 6 That man shall not assuredly for ever moved be: the righteous man he shall be had in lasting memory.
7 By evil tidings that he hears he shall not be afraid: his trust he putting in the Lord, his heart is firmly stay’d. 8 His heart is sure established, fear shall not him surprise, until he see what he desires upon his enemies.
9 He hath disper’st, hath giv’n to poor: his justice constantly endureth: and his horn shall be with honour lifted high. 10 The wicked shall see, and be griev’d; gnash with his teeth shall he and melt away: and their desire shall fail that wicked be.
