Psalms 112

1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

4 To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

5 Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgement.

6 Because he shall not be moved for ever.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

7 The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

9 He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
