THE REWARD OF A GOOD PERSON

Praise the Lord.  Happy is the person who honours the Lord,
who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
The good man's children will will be powerful in the land;

his descendants will be blessed.

His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will
be prosperous for ever.

Light shines in the darkness for the good people,
for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,
who runs his business honestly.

A good person will never fail; he will always
be remembered.
He is not afraid of receiving bad news;
his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord....  Psalm 112
