    Hallelujah! Happy are they who fear the Lord *

    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

    Wealth and riches will be in their house, *
    and their righteousness will last for ever.

    the righteous are merciful and full of compassion.

    the righteous will be kept in everlasting remembrance.

    They will not be afraid of any evil rumors; *
    their heart is right; they put their trust in the Lord.

    Their heart is established and will not shrink, *
    until they see their desire upon their enemies.

    They have given freely to the poor, *
    and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will hold up their head with honor.

    The wicked will see it and be angry; they will gnash their teeth and pine away; *
    the desires of the wicked will perish.
