Praise the Lord.

Blessed am I, my husband and our children because we fear the Lord,

  and we find great delight in His commands.

Our children will be mighty in the land;

    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches are in our houses,

    and our righteousness endures forever.

 Even in darkness light dawns for us because we are upright,

    for us because we are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

 Good will come to us because we are generous and lend freely,

    and conduct our affairs with justice.

 Surely we, the righteous, will never be shaken;

    we will be remembered forever.

We will have no fear of bad news;

    our hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

Our hearts are secure, we will have no fear;

    in the end we will look in triumph on our foes.

 We have freely scattered our gifts to the poor,

    our righteousness endures forever;

    our horn will be lifted high in honor.

The wicked will see and be vexed,

    they will gnash their teeth and waste away;

    the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
