Psalms 112

1 Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears YHWH, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight 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 in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgement.

6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

For 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 YHWH.

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust 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 fear, till he shall see [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 has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be 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 sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
