< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon 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 scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.
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 be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
