Psalms 112

1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

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

2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

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

5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

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

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

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

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

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

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

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