< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
Because he shall not be moved for ever.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.
9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.
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 shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
