The Traits of the Righteous

¹Hallelujah! ^u

Happy is the man who fears the Lord,

taking great delight in His commands. ^v

²His descendants will be powerful in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed. ^w

³Wealth and riches are in his house, ^x

and his righteousness endures forever. ^y

⁴Light shines in the darkness for the upright. ^z

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous. ^a

⁵Good will come to a man who lends generously

and conducts his business fairly. ^b

⁶He will never be shaken. ^c

The righteous man will be remembered forever. ^d

⁷He will not fear bad news;

his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord. ^e

⁸His heart is assured; he will not fear. ^f

In the end he will look in triumph on his foes. ^g

⁹He distributes freely to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever. ^h

His horn will be exalted in honor. ⁱ

¹⁰The wicked man will see it and be angry;

he will gnash his teeth in despair. ^j

The desire of the wicked man will come to nothing. ^k
