Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgement.

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
