< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will 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. His righteousness endures forever.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, 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 will maintain his cause in judgment.
Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
Because he shall not be moved for ever.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
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 will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will 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 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will 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.
