Righteous Traits
Bless is the man who fears the Lord,
Who greatly delights in His rules;
Always walking in one accord,
Avoiding the darkness and fools.
His offspring mighty in the land,
Upright generation to bless;
On solid rock not sinking sand,
The Word of God they will profess.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
Righteousness endures forever;
Pure relationship with his spouse,
And a love that will not sever.
The light dawns in the darkness,
He is merciful and righteous;
Compassion exposes starkness,
Of those who have been contentious.
A good man shows favor and lends,
Guiding his affairs in judgment;
Always he righteously defends,
That is considered reverent.
The righteous shall never be moved,
To be remembered forever;
His wisdom has always behooved,
No one is able to sever.
He is not afraid of bad news,
A firm heart that trusts in the Lord;
A steady heart able to choose,
Triumph over foes that abhorred.
He distributes unto the poor,
His horn will exalt in honor;
Because righteousness will endure,
He is considered a fawner.
The wicked man sees and is grieved,
Gnashes his teeth and melts away;
Because he never has believed,
As they will perish and decay.
