Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.

2 Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

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

4 To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favour and pity and kindness are they.

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

5 It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.

6 For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.

7 They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.

8 Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.

9 With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honour.

He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.

10 The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.

The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
