< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.
5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.
Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;
6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.
His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire 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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.
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 wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
