1
Hallelujah!
Happy is the person who fears the Lord,
taking great delight in his commands.
2
His descendants will be powerful in the land;
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
Good will come to the one who lends generously
and conducts his business fairly.
6
He will never be shaken.
The righteous one will be remembered forever.
7
He will not fear bad news;
his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.
8
His heart is assured; he will not fear.
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
9
He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted in honor.
10
The wicked one will see it and be angry;
he will gnash his teeth in despair.
The desire of the wicked leads to ruin.
