Psalms 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will 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 person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
