Psalms 112

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

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

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

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, 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, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth 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 hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

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

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