Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.

2 His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.

4 For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.

6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.

7 The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.

8 His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.

9 He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.

10 The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.

The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
