Psalm 112–113

Psalm 112

¹Praise ye Jehovah.

Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,

That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

²His seed shall be mighty upon earth:

The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house;

And his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

⁵Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;

He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

⁶For he shall never be moved;

The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:

His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,

Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;

His righteousness endureth for ever:

His horn shall be exalted with honor.

¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;

He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:

The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 113

¹Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,

Praise the name of Jehovah.

²Blessed be the name of Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

³From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same

Jehovah’s name is to be praised.

⁴Jehovah is high above all nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

⁵Who is like unto Jehovah our God,

That hath his seat on high,

⁶That humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

⁷He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

⁸That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

⁹He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye Jehovah.
