¹ Praise the LORD! How blessed is the one who obeys the LORD, who takes great delight in keeping his commands. ² His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed. ³ His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures. ⁴ In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. ⁵ It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly. ⁶ For he will never be upended; others will always remember one who is just. ⁷ He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the LORD. ⁸ His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies. ⁹ He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored. ¹⁰ When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.
