Psalms 112

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

Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights 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 on 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.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

To the upright there rises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely 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 evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting 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 be afraid, until he see his desire on 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, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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 wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
