Prosperity of the One Who Fears the LORD.

1 Praise the LORD!
          How blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
          Who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;
          The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
          And his righteousness endures forever.

4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
          He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.

5 It is well with the man 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 evil tidings;
          His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
          Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.

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.
