Psalms 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, 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 powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man 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; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

For he will never be moved; the righteous person 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; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will 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 person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
