< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!
2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.
5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.
Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;
6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;
He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.
His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he 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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; 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 wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
