The man who fears the LORD is blessed:
He finds delight in God's commands.
His children will be blessed as well,
His offspring mighty in the land. *
From darkness, light will dawn for him
Who's upright, merciful, and just.
'Tis well for him who freely lends.
In God alone he puts his trust. *
The righteous one remains secure;
Remembered he will always be.
He has no fear of tidings ill;
His heart is firm as firm can be. *
An all-enduring righteousness
Belongs to those who trust the LORD.
The wicked see it and despair;
They gnash their teeth and melt away.
