| 1 | הַלְלוּ יָהּ אַשְׁרֵי־אִישׁ יָרֵא אֶת־יְהוָה בְּמִצְוֺתָיו חָפֵץ מְאֹד | Ha-le-lu-yáh. Ash-réi ísh ya-ré et Ado-nái; be-mitz-vo-táv kha-fétz me-od. | Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments! |
| 2 | גִּבּוֹר בָּאָרֶץ יִהְיֶה זַרְעוֹ דּוֹר יְשָׁרִים יְבֹרָךְ | Gi-b-bór ba-a-rétz yi-he-yéh zar-o; dor ye-sha-rím ye-vo-rákh. | His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. |
| 3 | הוֹן־וָעֹשֶׁר בְּבֵיתוֹ וְצִדְקָתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַד | Hom ve-o-shér be-véi-to; ve-tzid-ka-tó o-mé-det la-aád. | Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. |
| 4 | זָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אוֹר לַיְשָׁרִים חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם וְצַדִּיק | Za-rákh ba-khó-shekh or la-ye-sha-rím; kha-nún ve-ra-khúm ve-tzad-dík. | Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. |
| 5 | טוֹב־אִישׁ חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה יְכַלְכֵּל דְּבָרָיו בְּמִשְׁפָּט | Tóv ísh kho-nén u-mal-véh; ye-kha-lkél de-va-ráv be-mish-pát. | It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. |
| 6 | כִּי־לְעוֹלָם לֹא־יִמּוֹט לְזֵכֶר עוֹלָם יִהְיֶה צַדִּיק | Ki le-o-lám lo yi-mót; le-zé-ker o-lám yi-he-yéh tzad-dík. | For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. |
| 7 | מִשְּׁמוּעָה רָעָה לֹא יִירָא נָכוֹן לִבּוֹ בָּטֻחַ בַּיהוָה | Mi-she-mu-áh ra-áh lo yi-rá; na-kón lib-bó ba-tú-akh ba-Ado-nái. | He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. |
| 8 | סָמוּךְ לִבּוֹ לֹא יִירָא עַד אֲשֶׁר־יִרְאֶה בְצָרָיו | Sa-múkh lib-bó lo yi-rá; ad a-shér yir-eéh ve-tzo-re-ráv. | His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. |
| 9 | פִּזַּר נָתַן לָאֶבְיוֹנִים צִדְקָתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַד קַרְנוֹ תָּרוּם בְּכָבוֹד | Pi-z-zár na-tán la-ev-yo-ním; tzid-ka-tó o-mé-det la-aád; kar-nó ta-rúm be-kha-vód. | He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. |
| 10 | רָשָׁע יִרְאֶה וְכָעָס שִׁנָּיו יַחֲרֹק וְנָמָס תַּאֲוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵד | Ra-shá yir-eéh ve-kha-ás; shin-náv ya-kha-rók ve-na-mas-s; ta-a-vaát re-sha-ím to-véd. | The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish! |
