Psalms 112

1 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

6 For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

9 He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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 seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth 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.
