Psalms 112

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

Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty on 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

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

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

A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 see his desire on his enemies.

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

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

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 grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
