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

2His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

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

5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice.

6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.

7He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

8His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

9He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.

10The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
