Zarach bachoshekh

English Translation
Hallelujah.
Happy is one who fears the Lord,
who is ardently devoted
to His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty in the land,
a blessed generation of upright men.
Wealth and riches are in His house,
and His beneficence lasts forever.
A light shines for the upright
in the darkness;
He is gracious, compassionate,
and beneficent.
All goes well for one who lends generously,
who conducts his affairs with equity.
He shall never be shaken;
the beneficent man
will be remembered forever.
He is not afraid of evil tidings;
his heart firm, he trusts in the Lord.
His heart is resolute, he is unafraid;
in the end he will see
the fall of his foes
He gives freejy to the poor;
his beneficence lasts forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.
The wicked man shall see it and be vexed;
he shall gnash his teeth; his courage shall fail.
The desire of the wicked shall come to nothing. |
