< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, 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 powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.
Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.
4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
For he will never be moved; the righteous person 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; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.
9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with 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 person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
