Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Blessed the man who takes great delight in the Lord's commandment.
VERSE 1
Blessed the man who fears the Lord,
who takes great delight in his commandments.
His descendants shall be powerful on earth,
the generation of the upright will be blest.
VERSE 2
Riches and wealth are in his house,
his justice stands firm forever.
A light rises in the darkness for the upright;
he is generous, merciful and just.
VERSE 3
It goes well for the man who deals generously and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
He will never be moved, forever shall the just be remembered.
He has no fear for evil news.
VERSE 4
With a firm heart he trusts in the Lord.
With a steadfast heart he will not fear.
He will see the downfall of his foes.
VERSE 5
Open handed he gives to the poor.
His justice stands firm forever.
His might shall be exalted in glory.
