Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

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

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

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

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

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

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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