Psalms 112

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

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

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

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

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

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

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

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in YHWH.

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope 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 has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down 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 distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

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 will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
