His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generations of the righteous shall be blessed.

Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus: *et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

Glory and wealth shall be in his house; and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: *misericors, et miserator et justus.

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness; he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat: disponet sermones suos in judicio: *quia in æternum non commovebitur.

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth; he shall order his words with judgment; because he shall not be moved for ever.

In memoria æterna erit justus: *ab auditione mala non timebit.

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing.
