Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

הַלְלוּ ־ יָהּ ׀ אַשְׁרֵי־אִישׁ יָרֵא אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּמִצְוֺתָיו חָפֵץ מְאֹֽד׃

2 Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

גִּבּוֹר בָּאָרֶץ יִהְיֶה זַרְעוֹ דּוֹר יְשָׁרִים יְבֹרָֽךְ׃

3 Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

הוֹן־וָעֹשֶׁר בְּבֵיתוֹ וְצִדְקָתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַֽד׃

4 Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

זָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אוֹר לַיְשָׁרִים חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם וְצַדִּֽיק׃

5 Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

טֽוֹב־אִישׁ חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה יְכַלְכֵּל דְּבָרָיו בְּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

6 They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

כִּֽי־לְעוֹלָם לֹֽא־יִמּוֹט לְזֵכֶר עוֹלָם יִהְיֶה צַדִּֽיק׃

7 They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

מִשְּׁמוּעָה רָעָה לֹא יִירָא נָכוֹן לִבּוֹ בָּטֻחַ בַּיהֹוָֽה׃

8 They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

סָמוּךְ לִבּוֹ לֹא יִירָא עַד אֲשֶׁר־יִרְאֶה בְצָרָֽיו׃

9 They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

פִּזַּר ׀ נָתַן לָאֶבְיוֹנִים צִדְקָתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַד קַרְנוֹ תָּרוּם בְּכָבֽוֹד׃

10 The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

רָשָׁע יִרְאֶה ׀ וְכָעָס שִׁנָּיו יַחֲרֹק וְנָמָס תַּאֲוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃
