Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

2 His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

4 To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

5 Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

6 Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

7 He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

8 His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

9 He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

10 The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.

The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
