1Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear GOD, Who cherish and relish his commandments,
2Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright--how blessed!
3Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry.
4Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people--God's grace and mercy and justice!
5The good person is generous and lends lavishly;
6No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation.
7Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in GOD,
8Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies,
9They lavish gifts on the poor--A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life!
10Someone wicked takes one look and rages, Blusters away but ends up speechless. There's nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing.
