Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

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

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

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

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

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

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

5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

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

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

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.
