¹Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments. ²His seed shall be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³Wealth and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness stands forever. ⁴To the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is gracious and full of pity and righteousness. ⁵A good man shows favor, and lends; he will guide his business with fairness. ⁶Surely he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be remembered forever. ⁷He shall not be afraid of bad news; his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. ⁸His heart is sure; he shall not be afraid though he sees his oppressors. ⁹He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be lifted up with honor. ¹⁰The wicked shall see and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
