¹ Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear GOD, Who cherish and relish his commandments, ² Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright--how blessed! ³ Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry. ⁴ Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people-- God's grace and mercy and justice! ⁵ The good person is generous and lends lavishly; ⁶ No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation. ⁷ Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in GOD, ⁸ Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies, ⁹ They lavish gifts on the poor-- A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life! ¹⁰ Someone wicked takes one look and rages, Blusters away but ends up speechless. There's nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing.
