Psalms 112

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

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, 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 mighty in the land; the generation of the upright 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, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, 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 is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

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

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man 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; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

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

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 abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in 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 man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
