1 P raise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who fears (reveres and worships) the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments.

هَلِّلُويا! هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَخافُ اللهَ ، وَيَشتَهِي طاعَةَ وَصاياهُ.

2 H is offspring shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

سيَكُونُ نَسلُهُ مُحارِبِينَ أشِدّاءَ فِي الأرْضِ، ذَلِكَ الجِيلُ المُستَقِيمُ سَيُبارِكُهُ اللهُ.

3 P rosperity and welfare are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

الغِنَى وَالكَرامَةُ سَيَملآنِ بَيتَهُ. إلَى الأبَدِ تَقُومُ أعمالُ بِرِّهِ.

4 L ight arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just.

الضِّياءُ يَسطَعُ فِي الظُّلمَةِ لِلمُسْتَقِيمِينَ، لأنَّ اللهَ طَيِّبٌ وَرَحِيمٌ وَعادِلٌ.

5 I t is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.

الخَيرُ يُصِيبُ الإنسانَ الطَّيِّبَ وَالكَرِيمَ الَّذِي يُجرِي شُؤُونَهُ بِالعَدلِ.

6 H e will not be moved forever; the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) shall be in everlasting remembrance.

لَنْ يَسقُطَ الأبْرارُ، وَلَنْ يُنسَى ذِكرُهُمْ إلَى الأبَدِ.

7 H e shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord.

لا يَخشَوْنَ أخبارَ السُّوءِ، فقُلُوبُهُمْ راسِخَةٌ وَآمِنَةٌ فِي اللهِ.

8 H is heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries.

قُلُوبُهُمْ ثابِتَةٌ فَلا يَخافُونَ، وَسَيُخضِعُونَ أعداءَهُمْ فِي نِهايَةِ الأمرِ.

9 H e has distributed freely; his righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) endures forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

يُوَّزِّعُونَ عَلَى الفُقَراءِ بِسَخاءٍ. بِرُّهُمْ إلَى الأبَدِ يَبقَى، وَتَرتَفِعُ رُؤُوسُهُمْ كَرامَةً.

10 T he wicked man will see it and be grieved and angered, he will gnash his teeth and disappear; the desire of the wicked shall perish and come to nothing.

يَرَى الأشرارُ هَذا فَيَغتاظُونَ، وَيُصِرُّونَ بِأسنانِهِمْ، لَكِنَّهُمْ يَزُولُونَ. شَهَواتُ الأشرارِ لَنْ تَؤُولَ إلَى شَيءٍ.
