Psalm 112

The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked

112Praise Yah!^a

Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh;

he takes great delight in his commands.

²His descendants^b will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house,

and his righteousness endures forever.

⁴His light rises in the darkness for the upright;

he is gracious and compassionate and righteous.

⁵It goes well for a man who is gracious and lends,

who conducts his business properly.^c

⁶For he will not be shaken forever;

the righteous will be remembered forever.^d

⁷He is not afraid of bad news;

his heart is steadfast, secure^e in Yahweh.

⁸His heart is sustained; he will not be afraid,

until he looks in triumph on his enemies.

⁹He gives lavishly^f to the needy;

his righteousness endures forever.

His horn rises high in honor.

¹⁰The wicked^g sees it and is vexed.

He gnashes his teeth and becomes weak.^h

The desire of the wickedⁱ perishes.
