1 Praise the Lord. Blessed is the one who has respect for the Lord. He finds great delight when he obeys God's commands.
2 His children will be powerful in the land. Because he is honest, his children will be blessed.
3 His family will have wealth and riches. He will always be blessed for doing what is right.
4 Even in the darkness light shines on honest people. It shines on those who are kind and tender and godly.
5 Good things will come to those who are willing to lend freely. Good things will come to those who are fair in everything they do.
6 They will always be secure. Those who do what is right will be remembered forever.
