The Prosperity of Him Who Fears the LORD

1121 Praise the Lord ! How blessed is the man who fears the Lord , Who greatly delights in His commandments . 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth ; The generation of the upright will be blessed . 3 Wealth and riches are in his house , And his righteousness endures forever . 4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright ; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous . 5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends ; He will maintain his cause in judgment .

6 For he will never e be shaken ; The righteous will be remembered forever . 7 He will not fear evil tidings ; His heart is steadfast , trusting in the Lord . 8 His heart is upheld , he will not fear , Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries . 9 He has given freely to the poor , His righteousness endures forever ; His horn will be exalted in honor . 10 The wicked will see it and be vexed , He will gnash his teeth and melt away ; The desire of the wicked will perish .
