Psalms 112

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

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

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

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

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

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

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

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

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

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

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

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

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

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

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

He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
