¹ Praise the LORD! Happy is the person who honors the LORD, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands. ² The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed. ³ His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever. ⁴ Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just. ⁵ Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly. ⁶ A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered. ⁷ He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the LORD. ⁸ He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated. ⁹ He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected. ¹⁰ The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
