< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;
3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.
Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.
Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth 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 hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.
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 lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
