1 Praise Yahweh!
◄Happy are/He is pleased with► those who have an awesome respect for him,
those who happily obey his commands.
2 Their children will prosper in their land;
and their descendants will be blessed by God.
3 Their family [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU],
and their righteous deeds will endure forever.
4 Godly/Righteous people are like lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness
on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
5 Things will go well for those who generously lend money to others
and who conduct their businesses honestly.
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed because of their troubles,
and they will never be forgotten by other people.
7 They are not afraid/worried when they receive bad news;
they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
8 They are confident and not afraid,
because they know that they will see God defeat their enemies.
9 They give things generously to poor/needy people;
their kind deeds will endure forever,
and they will be exalted and honored.
10 Wicked people see those things and are angry;
they gnash their teeth angrily,
but they will disappear and die.
The wicked things that they want to do will never happen.
