1 

Praise the Lord!

Happy are those who fear the Lord,

who greatly delight in his commandments.

2 

Their descendants will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 

Wealth and riches are in their houses,

and their righteousness endures forever.

4 

They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;

they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 

It is well with those who deal generously and lend,

who conduct their affairs with justice.

6 

For the righteous will never be moved;

they will be remembered forever.

7 

They are not afraid of evil tidings;

their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.

8 

Their hearts are steady; they will not be afraid;

in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

9 

They have distributed freely; they have given to the poor;

their righteousness endures forever;

their horn is exalted in honor.

10 

The wicked see it and are angry;

they gnash their teeth and melt away;    
the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.
