The Blessed Fear of the LORD

1(111:1) Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2(111:2) His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3(111:3) Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4(111:4) To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5(111:5) The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

6(111:6) For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7(111:7) He shall not be afraid of any evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

8(111:8) His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see his desire upon his enemies.

9(111:9) He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10(111:10) The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
