1 P raise the Lord! How happy is the man who honors the Lord with fear and finds joy in His Law!

2 H is children will be powerful in the land. Each family who is right will be happy.

3 R iches and well-being are in his house. And his right-standing with God will last forever.

4 L ight rises even in darkness for the one who is right. He is kind and has loving-pity and does what is right.

5 G ood will come to the man who is ready to give much, and fair in what he does.

6 H e will never be shaken. The man who is right and good will be remembered forever.

7 H e will not be afraid of bad news. His heart is strong because he trusts in the Lord.

8 H is heart will not be shaken. He will not be afraid and will watch those lose who fight against him.

9 H e has given much to the poor. His right-standing with God lasts forever. His horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 T he sinful man will see it and be troubled and angry. He will grind his teeth and waste away. The desire of the sinful will come to nothing.
