Psalms 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly 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 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 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, 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 is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

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

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

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7 He does not fear bad 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 assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

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

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in 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 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, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
