¹ PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who fears (reveres and worships) the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. ² His offspring shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³ Prosperity and welfare are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just . ⁵ It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. ⁶ He will not be moved forever; the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) shall be in everlasting remembrance. ⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. ⁸ His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries. ⁹ He has distributed freely ; his righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) endures forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor. ¹⁰ The wicked man will see it and be grieved and angered, he will gnash his teeth and disappear ; the desire of the wicked shall perish and come to nothing.
