< Psalms 112 >
1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth 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 upon 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 endureth for ever.
4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
Unto the upright there ariseth 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 sheweth favour, and lendeth: 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] upon his enemies.
9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; 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 wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
