Psalms 112

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

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

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

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

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

To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

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

for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

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

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

He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall 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.

A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
