[1] Hallelujah! Happy is the person who fears the LORD, taking great delight in his commands. [2] His descendants will be powerful in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. [3] Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. [4] Light shines in the darkness for the upright. He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous. [5] Good will come to the one who lends generously and conducts his business fairly. [6] He will never be shaken. The righteous one will be remembered forever. [7] He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD. [8] His heart is assured; he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph on his foes. [9] He distributes freely to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted in honor. [10] The wicked one will see it and be angry; he will gnash his teeth in despair. The desire of the wicked leads to ruin.
