Psalms 112

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

Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! א Blessed is the man who fears Adonai, בּ who delights greatly in his mitzvot ·instructions·.

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

גּ His offspring will be mighty in the land. דּ The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

ה Wealth and riches are in his house. ו His righteousness endures forever.

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

ז Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, ח gracious, merciful, and righteous.

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

ט It is well with the man who is merciful and lends. י He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

כּ For he will never be shaken. ל The upright will be remembered forever.

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

מ He will not be afraid of evil news. נ His heart is steadfast, trusting in Adonai.

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

ס His heart is established. ע He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

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

פּ He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. צ His righteousness endures forever. ק His horn will be exalted with kavod ·weighty 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.

ר The wicked will see it, and be grieved. שׁ He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. תּ The desire of the wicked will perish.
