Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth 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 land; 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 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

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 evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

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

9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: 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 wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked 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.
