The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

1 1 h Praise the Lord!
i Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who j greatly delights in his commandments!

l the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 m Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his n righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness o for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and p righteous.
5 It is well with the man who q deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will r never be moved;
s he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not t afraid of bad news;
his u heart is firm, v trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has w distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his x horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he y gnashes his teeth and z melts away;
a the desire of the wicked will perish!
