< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2 His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Jehovah.
Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8 His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.
Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9 He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
