1 Praise the Lord.[b] 1 Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, 1 who finds great delight in his commands.
2 His children will be mighty in the land; 2 the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, 3 and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, 4 for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.[c]the Lord is gracious and compassionate and righteous
5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, 5 who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 Surely he will never be shaken; 6 a righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He will have no fear of bad news; 7 his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear; 8 in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, 9 his righteousness endures forever; 9 his horn[d] will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be vexed, 10 he will gnash his teeth and waste away; 10 the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
