Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth 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 seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall 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: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.

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

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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 established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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 shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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