PRaise ye the Lord. The man is blestthat fears the Lord of might,And in his just Commandementsthat taketh great delight. [verse 2] His holy seed here upon earthshall great and mighty be,The generation of th'uprightall men shall blessed see.
[verse 3] And in his house there shall be storeof wealth and riches sure,And all his righteousness to himfor ever shall endure. [ 4]
descriptionPage 287
Unto the righteous doth arisein midst of darknesse light,Kind and compassionate is he,and leads his life aright.
[verse 5] A good man always favour shows,and lendeth willingly,And all his own affairs he guidesvvith judgement prosperously. [verse 6] Surely his state is setled sothat it shall never move,The just shall be remembred stillby men and God above.
[verse 7] Of evil tidings that may come,he vvill not be afraid,Because his heart upon his Godby faith is fixt and staid. [verse 8] His heart is firmly stablished,afraid he will not be,Until upon his enemieshis whole desire he see.
[verse 9] He distributes gifts to the poor,and to eternityHis justice lasts, his horn shall bewith honour raised high. [verse 10] The vvicked seeing it shall grieve,and gnash his teeth in ire,And melt away, yea perish shallthe wicked mans desire.
