1Praise ye the LORD . Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD , that delighteth greatly in his commandments . 2His seed shall be mighty upon earth : the generation of the upright shall be blessed . 3Wealth and riches shall be in his house : and his righteousness endureth for ever .
Generosity and Righteousness
4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness : he is gracious , and full of compassion , and righteous . 5A good man sheweth favour , and lendeth : he will guide his affairs with discretion . 6Surely he shall not be moved for ever : the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance .
The Security of the Righteous
7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings : his heart is fixed , trusting in the LORD . 8His heart is established , he shall not be afraid , until he see his desire upon his enemies . 9He hath dispersed , he hath given to the poor ; his righteousness endureth for ever ; his horn shall be exalted with honour . 10The wicked shall see it , and be grieved ; he shall gnash with his teeth , and melt away : the desire of the wicked shall perish .
