Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments.
2
His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3
Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.
4
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5
A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6
Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7
He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8
His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9
He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.
