Psalms 112

1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

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

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

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

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

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