1 Hallelujah!Blessed the man who fears the Lord,who greatly delights in his commands.
2 His descendants shall be mighty in the land,a generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house;his righteousness shall endure forever.
4 Light shines through the darkness for the upright;gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It is good for the man gracious in lending,who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For he shall never be shaken;the righteous shall be remembered forever.
7 He shall not fear an ill report;his heart is steadfast, trusting the Lord.
8 His heart is tranquil, without fear,till at last he looks down on his foes.
9 Lavishly he gives to the poor;his righteousness shall endure forever;his horn shall be exalted in honor.
10 The wicked sees and is angry;gnashes his teeth and wastes away;the desire of the wicked come to nothing.
