¹ Praise the LORD!
How blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who greatly delights in His commandments. ² His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed. ³ Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. ⁵ It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment. ⁶ For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever. ⁷ He will not fear evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ⁸ His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. ⁹ He has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor. ¹⁰ The wicked will see it and be vexed,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked will perish.
