¹ Shout praises to the LORD! The LORD blesses everyone who worships him and gladly obeys his teachings. ² Their descendants will have great power in the land, because the LORD blesses all who do right. ³ They will get rich and prosper and will always be remembered for their fairness. ⁴ They will be so kind and merciful and good, that they will be a light in the dark for others who do the right thing. ⁵ Life will go well for those who freely lend and are honest in business. ⁶ They won't ever be troubled, and the kind things they do will never be forgotten. ⁷ Bad news won't bother them; they have decided to trust the LORD. ⁸ They are dependable and not afraid, and they will live to see their enemies defeated. ⁹ They will always be remembered and greatly praised, because they were kind and freely gave to the poor. ¹⁰ When evil people see this, they angrily bite their tongues and disappear. They will never get what they really want.
