[1] Praise the LORD! How blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who greatly delights in His commandments. [2] His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. [3] Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. [4] Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. [5] It is well with the man 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 evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. [8] His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. [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.
