Psalms 112

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

Praise all of you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is 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.

A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 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 see his desire upon 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 has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with 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 grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
