Wisdom from the Psalms

...The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
    all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    Who delights greatly in His commandments.

His descendants will be mighty on earth;
    The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
    And his righteousness endures forever.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
    He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man deals graciously and lends;
    He will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he will never be shaken;
    The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
    His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is established;
    He will not be afraid...

~Psalm 111:10–112:8a
