< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.
Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!
2 His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.
His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous 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; His righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.
5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.
Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;
6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
Yea, he shall never be moved: 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 is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.
His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till 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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall 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 shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
