Psalms 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will 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 person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
