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.

הללו-יה אשרי-איש ירא את-יהוה במצותיו חפץ מאד

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

גבור בארץ יהיה זרעו דור ישרים יברך

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

הון-ועשר בביתו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

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

זרח בחשך אור לישרים חנון ורחום וצדיק

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

טוב-איש חונן ומלוה יכלכל דבריו במשפט

6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

כי-לעולם לא-ימוט לזכר עולם יהיה צדיק

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.

משמועה רעה לא יירא נכון לבו בטח ביהוה

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

סמוך לבו לא יירא עד אשר-יראה בצריו

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.

פזר נתן לאביונים-- צדקתו עמדת לעד קרנו תרום בכבוד

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

רשע יראה וכעס-- שניו יחרק ונמס תאות רשעים תאבד
