Psalms 112

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

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

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

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, 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, standeth for aye.

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

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

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

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

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

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

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

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

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

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

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, standeth for aye, 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 lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
