Light in the dark

Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD and takes great pleasure in what he commands. His offspring will be mighty on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed. There'll be wealth and riches in his house, and his righteousness stands forever. Light comes up in the dark for the upright. He's gracious and full of mercy and righteous. A good man shows favour and lends. He'll manage his business with judgment. He'll never be moved. The righteous will be remembered forever. He won't be frightened of bad news. His heart is steady, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established; he will not be afraid until he sees his desire upon his enemies. He has dispersed and given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever, and his horn will be exalted with honour. The wicked man will see it and be furious. He'll gnash his teeth and melt away. What the wicked want will perish.

Praise the Lord. Happy is the man who fears the Lord and takes great pleasure in what he commands. His offspring will be mighty on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed. There'll be wealth and riches in his house, and his righteousness stands forever. Light comes up in the dark for the upright. He's gracious and full of mercy and righteous. A good man shows favour and lends. He'll manage his business with judgment. He'll never be shifted. The righteous will be remembered forever. He won't be frightened of bad news. His heart is steady, trusting in the Lord. His heart is settled. He won't be frightened, till he looks at the ones against him and sees what he wanted. He's spread it about and given to the poor. His righteousness stands forever. His horn will be lifted up in honour. The wicked man will see it and be furious. He'll gnash his teeth and melt away. What the wicked want will be finished.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
