The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

 ^[a] 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!
