Psalms 112

1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous 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 shall be in his house; 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.

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain 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].

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.

He is not afraid of evil tidings; 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.

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

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 blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; 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.

The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
