Blessed is the man who fears the Lord

(Psalm 128:1-6)
1
Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.
2
His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.
3
Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.
4
Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.
5
It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.
6
For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.
7
He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.
8
His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.
9
He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.
10
The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
