1Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

6For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

7He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.

9He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

10The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
