Psalms 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over 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 hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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 wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
