Psalms 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

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

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; 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.

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till 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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure 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, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
