Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws. | Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. | ||

| 5. | It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment. | All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged. | A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. | ||

| 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. | The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing. | The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. | ||
