Psalms 112

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

4 To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

6 for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

9 He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

10 A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.

The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
