Psalms 112

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Blessed 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is 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 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, 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 see his desire upon his enemies.

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with 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 grieved; 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.
