Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His descendants 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 upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.
