< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise all of you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.
Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 see his desire upon his enemies.
Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with 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 grieved; 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.
