About this psalm
The same alphabet as Psalm 111, turned around: where that one described God, this describes the man who fears him. His seed shall be mighty. Wealth and riches shall be in his house. He is not afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Paul borrows one of its lines about scattering abroad and giving to the poor.

1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.2His seed shall be mighty upon earth:the generation of the upright shall be blessed.3Wealth and riches shall be in his house:and his righteousness endureth for ever.4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:he will guide his affairs with discretion.6Surely he shall not be moved for ever:the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor;his righteousness endureth for ever;his horn shall be exalted with honour.10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:the desire of the wicked shall perish.
