1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

*Praise the Lord. Happy is the person who fears the Lord and loves his rules a lot.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

*His descendants will be powerful on Earth: the offspring of those who do right will be prosperous.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

*Wealth and riches will be in his home, and his fairness lasts forever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

*In the dark, honest people get light. They are kind, caring, and fair.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

*A kind person helps others and shares what they have; they carefully handle their own matters.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

*He will never be forgotten; the good will always be remembered forever.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

*He won't fear bad news; his heart is steady, relying on the Lord.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

*His heart is steady; he won't fear until he sees his wish come true against his foes.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

*He has shared with the needy; his fairness lasts forever; his strength will be lifted with respect.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

*The bad people will see it and be sad. They will grind their teeth and disappear. The wishes of the bad people will fail.
