1 Praise the LORD! How blessed is the one who obeys the LORD, who takes great delight in keeping his commands. Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.
2 His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed. His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.
4 In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 For he will never be upended; others will always remember one who is just. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.
7 He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the LORD. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9 He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored. He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.
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. The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish! The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
