1Praise ye LORD. Blessed is the man who fears LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments. 2His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4To the upright there arises light in the darkness. [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment, 6for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance. 7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in LORD. 8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, [even] until he looks over his adversaries. 9He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor. 10A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
