Psalms 112

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

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

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

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

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

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

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

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

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

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

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

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
