Psalms 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous 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; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

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

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure 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, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
