< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on 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 hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with 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 wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
