Psalms 112
1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! א Blessed is the man who fears Adonai, בּ who delights greatly in his mitzvot ·instructions·.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
גּ His offspring will be mighty in the land. דּ 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.
ה Wealth and riches are in his house. ו 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.
ז Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, ח gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
ט It is well with the man who is merciful and lends. י He will 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].
כּ For he will never be shaken. ל The upright will be remembered forever.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
מ He will not be afraid of evil news. נ His heart is steadfast, trusting in Adonai.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
ס His heart is established. ע He will not be afraid in the end when he sees 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.
פּ He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. צ His righteousness endures forever. ק His horn will be exalted with kavod ·weighty glory·.
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.
ר The wicked will see it, and be grieved. שׁ He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. תּ The desire of the wicked will perish.
