The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

112 
[a] (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who ©greatly delights in his commandments!
His (D)offspring will be mighty in the land;
(E)the generation of the upright will be blessed.
(F)Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his (G)righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness (H)for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and (I)righteous.
It is well with the man who (J)deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will (K)never be moved;
(L)he will be remembered forever.
He is not (M)afraid of bad news;
his (N)heart is firm, (O)trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady;[b] he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has (P)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his (Q)horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he ®gnashes his teeth and (S)melts away;
(T)the desire of the wicked will perish!
