Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth 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 are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright there ariseth 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 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.

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

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had 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 adversaries.

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

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth 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.
