< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.
Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.
They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
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.
Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
