< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall 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 merit endureth for ever.
4 To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, 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 established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.
He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.
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 shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
