Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

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

6 For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

10 The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.

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