< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears YHWH, who delights greatly 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. 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, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.
He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in YHWH.
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.
He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
