Psalms 112

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

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 see his desire upon his enemies.

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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