Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

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

6 For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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 sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall 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.
