Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

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

For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

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

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

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

He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

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 sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
