1 Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying 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 Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people 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 They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever. 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 Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. 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 Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. 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 Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 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 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them. 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 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. 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 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor. 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 The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted. 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.
