Psalms 112

1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
