[1] Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord,
and has great delight in his laws. [2] His seed will be strong on the
earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright. [3] A store of
wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever. [4]
For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace
and pity. [5] All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to
others; he will make good his cause when he is judged. [6] He will not ever
be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever. [7] He will
have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.
[8] His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble
come on his haters. [9] He has given with open hands to the poor; his
righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour. [10] The
sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire
of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
