[1] Praise the Lord! Blessed is a person who fears the Lord, Who greatly delights in His commandments. [2] His descendants will be mighty on the earth; 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] It goes well for a person who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. [6] For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. [7] He will not fear bad news; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. [8] His heart is firm, he will not fear, But will look with satisfaction on his enemies. [9] He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor. [10] The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.
