Prosperity of One Who Fears the Lord.
1 Praise the Lord! Blessed is a person who fears the Lord, Who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on the earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for a person who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not fear bad news; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is firm, he will not fear, But will look with satisfaction on his enemies.
9 He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.
