Psalms 112

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

Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Jehovah.

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

His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph 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, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

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 will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
