< 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 greatly delighteth 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.
Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: 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.
Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.
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 distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted 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 shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
