[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.
