1 Praise Hashem.
Ashrei is the ish that feareth Hashem,
that delighteth greatly in His mitzvot.
2 His zera shall be gibbor ba'aretz;
the dor (generation) of the Yesharim (upright ones) shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and osher (riches) shall be in his bais;
and his tzedakah endureth forever.
4 Unto the Yesharim (upright ones) there ariseth ohr in the choshech;
he is channun, and rachum, and tzaddik.
5 A tov ish is generous, and lendeth;
he will guide his affairs with mishpat.
6 Surely he shall never falter;
the tzaddik shall be in remembrance olam (forever).
7 He shall not be afraid of mishmu'ah ra'ah (news of misfortune, evil tidings);
his lev is nachon (steadfast), trusting in Hashem.
8 His lev is samuch (sustained), he shall not be afraid,
until he look in triumph upon his foes.
9 He hath contributed freely, he hath given to the evyonim (needy);
his tzedakah endureth forever;
his keren shall be lifted up in kavod.
10 The rasha shall see it, and be incensed;
he shall gnash his teeth, and waste away;
the ta'avot resha'im (desire of the wicked ones) shall come to nothing.
