< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.
His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.
9 He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.
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 shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
