< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.
His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.
Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.
He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
