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.
