Psalms 112

1 Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

2 His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

5 It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

6 For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

7 He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

8 His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

9 He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

10 The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.

The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
