Psalms 112

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

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

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

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

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

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

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

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

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.

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
