< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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 upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.
Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.
Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.
9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted 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 shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
