פרק קיב

הַ֥לְלוּ־יָ֨הּ ׀ אַשְׁרֵי־אִ֭ישׁ יָרֵ֣א אֶת־יְהֹוָ֑ה בְּ֝מִצְוֺתָ֗יו חָפֵ֥ץ מְאֹֽד׃

גִּבּ֣וֹר בָּ֭אָרֶץ יִהְיֶ֣ה זַרְע֑וֹ דּ֖וֹר יְשָׁרִ֣ים יְבֹרָֽךְ׃

הוֹן־וָעֹ֥שֶׁר בְּבֵית֑וֹ וְ֝צִדְקָת֗וֹ עֹמֶ֥דֶת לָעַֽד׃

זָ֘רַ֤ח בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ א֭וֹר לַיְשָׁרִ֑ים חַנּ֖וּן וְרַח֣וּם וְצַדִּֽיק׃

טֽוֹב־אִ֭ישׁ חוֹנֵ֣ן וּמַלְוֶ֑ה יְכַלְכֵּ֖ל דְּבָרָ֣יו בְּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

כִּֽי־לְעוֹלָ֥ם לֹֽא־יִמּ֑וֹט לְזֵ֥כֶר ע֝וֹלָ֗ם יִהְיֶ֥ה צַדִּֽיק׃

מִשְּׁמוּעָ֣ה רָ֭עָה לֹ֣א יִירָ֑א נָכ֥וֹן לִ֝בּ֗וֹ בָּטֻ֥חַ בַּיהֹוָֽה׃

סָמ֣וּךְ לִ֭בּוֹ לֹ֣א יִירָ֑א עַ֖ד אֲשֶׁר־יִרְאֶ֣ה בְצָרָֽיו׃

פִּזַּ֤ר ׀ נָ֘תַ֤ן לָאֶבְיוֹנִ֗ים צִ֭דְקָתוֹ עֹמֶ֣דֶת לָעַ֑ד קַ֝רְנ֗וֹ תָּר֥וּם בְּכָבֽוֹד׃

רָ֘שָׁ֤ע יִרְאֶ֨ה ׀ וְכָעָ֗ס שִׁנָּ֣יו יַחֲרֹ֣ק וְנָמָ֑ס תַּאֲוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ {פ}

Hallelujah.
א Happy are those who fear GOD,
who are ardently devoted to God’s commandments.

ג Their descendants will be mighty in the land,
ד a blessed generation of the upright.

ה Wealth and riches are in their house,
ו and their beneficence lasts forever.

ז A light shines^aA light shines Or “[God] shines as a light.” for the upright in the darkness;
^bthey are Or “[God] is.” gracious, compassionate, and beneficent.

ח ט All goes well with those who lend generously,
יwho conduct affairs with equity.

כ They shall never be shaken;
לthe beneficent will be remembered forever.

מ They are not afraid of evil tidings;
נtheir heart is firm, they trust in GOD.

ס Their heart is resolute, they are unafraid;
עin the end they will see the fall of their foes.

פ They give freely to the poor;
צtheir beneficence lasts forever;
קtheir horn is exalted in honor.

ר The wicked shall see it and be vexed;
שthey shall gnash their teeth; their courage shall fail.
תThe desire of the wicked shall come to nothing.
