Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
