Psalms 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

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

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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 wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
