1121 Praise Yah! [1]
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
who delights greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed will be mighty in the land.
The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever. 4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright,
gracious, merciful, and righteous. 5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever. 7 He will not be afraid of evil news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh. 8 His heart is established.
He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries. 9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor. 10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.
31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
