Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty in the land; Gen 17:7Pro 20:7Psa 37:26Act 2:39Psa 25:13Jer 32:39Psa 102:28Gen 22:17-18
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house, Pro 15:6Pro 3:16Mat 6:33Isa 33:6Php 4:18-19Psa 112:91Ti 6:6-82Co 6:10
and his righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— Job 11:17Col 3:12-13Psa 97:11Isa 58:101Jn 3:7Luk 6:361Jn 2:29Eph 4:32
for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, Psa 37:21Eph 5:15Pro 2:20Deu 15:7-10Jhn 6:12Php 1:9Pro 24:30-34Psa 37:25-26
whose affairs are guided by justice.
Surely he will never be shaken; Pro 10:7Heb 6:10Psa 125:1Psa 62:2Psa 15:5Psa 55:222Pe 1:5-11Mat 25:34-40
the righteous man will be remembered forever.
He does not fear bad news; Isa 26:3-4Pro 1:33Psa 57:7Psa 118:6Jhn 14:1Pro 3:25-26Psa 34:4Psa 118:8-9
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

until he looks in triumph on his foes.
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; Heb 13:16Psa 75:102Co 9:9-15Jas 2:15-161Jn 3:16-181Ti 6:18Heb 6:10Isa 58:10
his righteousness endures forever; 2
his horn will be lifted high in honor.
The wicked man will see and be grieved; Pro 10:28Psa 58:7-8Job 8:13Luk 13:28Pro 11:7Psa 37:12Psa 86:17Luk 16:23-26
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the desires of the wicked will perish.
