Psalms 112
1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will 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.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, 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 is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
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 abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in 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.
The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
