< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.
Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.
The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.
6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;
He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.
8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.
His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.
9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with 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 sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
