Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.

4 To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.

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

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

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth his desire upon his enemies.

They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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.
