Psalms 112

1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.

Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

2 His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favor and pity and kindness are they.

5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.

It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

7 He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

8 His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

9 He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honor.

10 The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!

The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
