| 1Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments. | 1Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands. |
| 2His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. | 2Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. |
| 3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. | 3They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever. |
| 4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright—for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous. | 4Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. |
| 5It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice. | 5Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. |
| 6Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever. | 6Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. |
| 7He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. | 7They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them. |
| 8His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes. | 8They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. |
| 9He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. | 9They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor. |
| 10The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish. | 10The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted. |
