Psalms 112

1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.

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

2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].

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

3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.

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

4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.

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

5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.

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

6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely 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 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.

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

9 They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.

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 Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.

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