Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

6 For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.

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