Psalms 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, 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 merit endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, 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, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

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 stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

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 gaze 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 scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

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 vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
