1 Praise the Lord!Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,Who delights greatly in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches will be in his house,And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man deals graciously and lends;He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he will never be shaken;The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings;His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established;He will not be afraid,Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed abroad,He has given to the poor;His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;He will gnash his teeth and melt away;The desire of the wicked shall perish.
