1 ¶ Aleph Halelu-JAH. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, Beth that delights greatly in his commandments.

2 G imel His seed shall be mighty upon earth; Daleth the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 H e Wealth and riches shall be in his house; Vau and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 Z ain A light has shined in the darkness upon the upright: Cheth Gracious and merciful and righteous.

5 T eth A good man has mercy and lends; Jod He will govern his affairs with good judgment.

6 ¶ Caph Surely he shall not be moved for ever; Lamed the righteous shall be in eternal remembrance.

7 M em He shall not be afraid of evil rumours; Nun his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 S amech His heart is established; he shall not be afraid, Ain until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9 P e He has dispersed; he has given to the poor; Tzaddi his righteousness endures for ever; Koph his horn shall be exalted in glory.

10 R esh The wicked shall see it and be furious; Schin he shall gnash with his teeth and waste away: Tau The desire of the wicked shall perish.
