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. Blessed [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 [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth 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 upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] 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.

A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 seeth [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 dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth 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 [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
