< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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.
Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.
7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.
Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.
9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.
He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted 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 shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
