1 The Blessed State of the Righteous Praise the Lord ! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord , Who Ps. 128:1 delights greatly in His commandments.
2 (Ps. 102:28) His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Prov. 3:16; 8:18; (Matt. 6:33) Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Job 11:17; Ps. 97:11 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 Ps. 37:26; (Luke 6:35) A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs (Eph. 5:15; Col. 4:5) with discretion.
6 Surely he will never be shaken; Prov. 10:7 The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7 (Prov. 1:33) He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord .
8 His Heb. 13:9 heart is established; (Ps. 27:1; 56:11); Prov. 1:33; 3:24; (Is. 12:2) He will not be afraid, Until he Ps. 59:10 sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
