< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth 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 merit endureth for ever.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
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; the righteous 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 stedfast, 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 established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon 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 hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
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 shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
