< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
2 His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
Because he shall not be moved for ever.
7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.
9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.
He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.
10 The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
