| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. | 1Hallelujah! How happy is the person who fears the LORD, who truly delights in his commandments. |
| 2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. | 2His descendants will be powerful in the land, a generation of the upright who will be blessed. |
| 3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. | 3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. |
| 4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. | 4A light shines in the darkness for the upright, for the one who is gracious, compassionate, and just. |
| 5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. | 5It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness. |
| 6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. | 6He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered. |
| 7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. | 7He need not fear a bad report, for his heart is unshaken, since he trusts in the LORD. |
| 8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. | 8His heart is steadfast, he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph over his enemy. |
| 9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. | 9He gives generously to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. |
| 10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. | 10The wicked person sees this and flies into a rage; his teeth gnash and wear away. The desire of the wicked will amount to nothing. |
