| New King James Version | International Standard Version |
| 1Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. | 1Hallelujah! How happy is the person who fears the LORD, who truly delights in his commandments. |
| 2His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. | 2His descendants will be powerful in the land, a generation of the upright who will be blessed. |
| 3Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. | 3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. |
| 4Unto the upright there arises 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 deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. | 5It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness. |
| 6Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. | 6He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered. |
| 7He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, 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 will not be afraid, Until he sees 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 has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor. | 9He gives generously to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. |
| 10The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash 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. |
