Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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