1 Praise the Lord!
.
. Always blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
. Because he finds great delight in his commands.
2 Children he fathers will be mighty in the land;
. Down thru each generation, the upright man will be blessed.
3 Ever filled with riches is his house;
. Forever his righteousness endures.
4 Gracious and compassionate, the righteous man
. Has light dawning on him even in darkness.
5 If he is generous and lends freely, good will come to him;
. Justice is to guide him in all his affairs.
6 Know that he will never be shaken;
. Long will a righteous man be remembered—forever, in fact.
7 Maintaining his trust in the Lord, his heart is steadfast;
. No fear of bad news does he have.
8 Overthrowing all fear, his hear is secure;
. Persevering to the end, he will look in triumph on his foes.
9 Quietly generous, he showers gifts on the poor;
. Righteousness in him endures forever;
. Surely his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be vexed;
. Unceasingly he will gnash his teeth, but it will be
. Vain, for his longings will come to nothing.
