The Blessed State of the Righteous
1 Praise
1 the
Lord!
Blessed
is the man
who fears the
Lord,
Who adelights greatly in His commandments.
2 aHis descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 aWealth and riches
will be in his house,
And his righteousness
1 endures forever.
4 aUnto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 aA good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs
bwith discretion.
6 Surely he will never be shaken;
aThe righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7 aHe will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the
Lord.
8 His
aheart
is established;
bHe will not be afraid,
Until he
csees
his desire upon his enemies.
