¹(112) Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

¹Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

²His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

²Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

³Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

³His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

⁴To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

⁴He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

⁵The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

⁵He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

⁶For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

⁷He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

⁷The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

⁸His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

⁸They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

⁹He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

⁹He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

¹⁰The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.

¹⁰The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
