1 Hallelujah!

Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear God,

Who cherish and relish his commandments,

2 Their children robust on the earth,

And the homes of the upright—how blessed!

3 Their houses brim with wealth

And a generosity that never runs dry.

4 Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people—

God's grace and mercy and justice!

5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;

6 No shuffling or stumbling around for this one,

But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation.

7 Unfazed by rumor and gossip,

Heart ready, trusting in God,

8 Spirit firm, unperturbed,

Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies,

9 They lavish gifts on the poor—

A generosity that goes on, and on, and on.

An honored life! A beautiful life!

10 Someone wicked takes one look and rages,

Blusters away but ends up speechless.

There's nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing.
