1 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,who delights greatly in His commandments.
2 His offspring shall be mighty in the land;the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house,and his righteousness endures forever.
4 To the upright there arises light in the darkness;he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man shows generous favor, and lends;he will guide his affairs with justice.
6 Surely the righteous man shall not be moved;the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings;his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established; he shall not be afraid,until he sees triumph upon his enemies.
9 He has given away freely; he has given to the poor;his righteousness endures forever;his horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked shall see it and be grieved;he shall gnash his teeth and melt away;the desire of the wicked shall perish.
