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.

2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

3 His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

4 Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just.

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.

5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly.

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

6 A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered.

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

8 He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

9 He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected.

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.

10 The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
