PRAISE the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments.

2 His descendant will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affair with discretion.

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He will not be afriad of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD

8 His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9 He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish. PSALM 112
