Blessed is He who Fears the LORD
1 Hallelujah!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright,
gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends,
who conducts his business justly.
6 For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not be afraid of bad news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is settled, and he will not be afraid
when he looks on his adversaries triumphantly.
9 He disperses freely, giving to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth and waste away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.
