1 Praise Yahweh.

Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh,

who greatly delights in his commandments.

2 His descendants will be powerful on earth;

the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house;

his righteousness will endure forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly person;

he is gracious, merciful, and just.

5 It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money,

who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 For he will never be moved;

the righteous person will be remembered forever.

7 He does not fear bad news;

he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

8 His heart is tranquil, without fear,

until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

9 He generously gives to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever;

he will be exalted with honor.

10 The 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.
