Salmos 112

1 Aleluya. BIENAVENTURADO el hombre que teme á Jehová, [y] en sus mandamientos se deleita en gran manera.

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

2 Su simiente será poderosa en la tierra: la generación de los rectos será bendita.

Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

3 Hacienda y riquezas hay en su casa; y su justicia permanece para siempre.

Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

4 Resplandeció en las tinieblas luz á los rectos: [es] clemente, y misericordioso, y justo.

Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

5 El hombre de bien tiene misericordia y presta; gobierna sus cosas con juicio.

Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

6 Por lo cual no resbalará para siempre: en memoria eterna será el justo.

They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

7 De mala fama no tendrá temor: su corazón está apercibido, confiado en Jehová.

They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

8 Asentado está su corazón, no temerá, hasta que vea en sus enemigos [su deseo].

They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

9 Esparce, da á los pobres: su justicia permanece para siempre; su cuerno será ensalzado en gloria.

They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

10 Verálo el impío, y se despechará; crujirá los dientes, y se repudrirá: perecerá el deseo de los impíos.

The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.
