Blessed is the one who fears the Lord, Taking great delight within His laws. Children will be mighty in the land; The upright house receives a blessing. Light arises in the darkness for the gracious, For the merciful and righteous heart. Good is one who lends and deals with fairness, Guiding every matter with discretion. The righteous will not be afraid Of evil news or sudden night. The heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord, Established till the foe is seen defeated. They have scattered gifts among the needy; Their righteousness remains forever. Their horn is raised in honor, While the wicked sees and melts away.
