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 greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: 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 will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in 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 vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
