1 Praise the Lord.

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who greatly delights in his commandments!

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house;

and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 Light rises in the darkness for the upright;

the Lord* is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
