Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

6 for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.

9 He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
