Psalms 112
1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.
9 They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
