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. |
