International Standard Version | New Living Translation |
1Hallelujah! How happy is the person who fears the LORD, who truly 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 powerful in the land, a generation of the upright who 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. |
4A light shines in the darkness for the upright, for the one who is gracious, compassionate, and just. | 4Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. |
5It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness. | 5Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. |
6He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered. | 6Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. |
7He need not fear a bad report, for his heart is unshaken, since he trusts in the LORD. | 7They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them. |
8His heart is steadfast, he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph over his enemy. | 8They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. |
9He gives generously to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted 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 person sees this and flies into a rage; his teeth gnash and wear away. The desire of the wicked will amount to nothing. | 10The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted. |
