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 honour.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
