< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Praise all of you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly 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 upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.
He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
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 it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
