Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [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 [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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