1. Hallelujah!Blessed the man who fears the Lord,who greatly delights in his commands.
2. His descendants shall be mighty in the land,a generation of the upright will be blessed.
3. Wealth and riches shall be in his house;his righteousness shall endure forever.
4. Light shines through the darkness for the upright;gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5. It is good for the man gracious in lending,who conducts his affairs with justice.
6. For he shall never be shaken;the righteous shall be remembered forever.
7. He shall not fear an ill report;his heart is steadfast, trusting the Lord.
8. His heart is tranquil, without fear,till at last he looks down on his foes.
9. Lavishly he gives to the poor;his righteousness shall endure forever;his horn shall be exalted in honor.
10. The wicked sees and is angry;gnashes his teeth and wastes away;the desire of the wicked come to nothing.
