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 ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, 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 for ever.

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

Light hath 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.

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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.

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look 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 hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
