1. Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,who greatly delights in his commandments!
2. His offspring will be mighty 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 dawns in the darkness for the upright;he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;who conducts his affairs with justice.
6. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.
7. He is not afraid of bad news;his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9. He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;his righteousness endures forever;his horn is exalted in honor.
10. The wicked man sees it and is angry;he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
