“1 Hallelujah!

Happy is the man who fears the Lord,

taking great delight in His commands.

2 His descendants will be powerful in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,

and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright.

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Good will come to a man who lends generously

and conducts his business fairly.

6 He will never be shaken.

The righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He will not fear bad news;

his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is assured; he will not fear.

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

9 He distributes freely to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever.

His horn will be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked man will see it and be angry;

he will gnash his teeth in despair.

The desire of the wicked man will come to nothing.”

Psalm 112
