1Praise Yahweh.
Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh,
who greatly delights in his commandments.

2His descendants will be powerful on earth;
the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house;
his righteousness will endure forever.

4Light shines in the darkness for the godly person;
he is gracious, merciful, and just.

5It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money,
who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6For he will never be moved;
the righteous person will be remembered forever.

7He does not fear bad news;
he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

8His heart is tranquil, without fear,
until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

9He generously gives to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
he will be exalted with honor.

10The wicked person will see this and be angry;
he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away;
the desire of the wicked people will perish.
