Psalms 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

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

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on 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 hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with 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 wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
