PSALM 112

Prosperity of the One Who Fears the Lord.

¹¹Praise ²the Lord!

How ^ablessed is the man who ³fears the Lord,

Who greatly ^bdelights in His commandments.

²His ^1adescendants will be mighty ²on earth;

The generation of the ^bupright will be blessed.

^3aWealth and riches are in his house,

And his righteousness endures forever.

⁴Light arises in the darkness ^afor the upright;

He is ^bgracious and compassionate and righteous.

⁵It is well with the man who ^ais gracious and lends;

He will ¹maintain his cause in judgment.

⁶For he will ^anever be shaken;

The ^brighteous will be ¹remembered forever.

⁷He will not fear ^aevil tidings;

His ^bheart is steadfast, ^ctrusting in the Lord.

⁸His ^aheart is upheld, he ^bwill not fear,

Until he ^clooks with satisfaction on his adversaries.

⁹¹He ^ahas given freely to the poor,

His righteousness endures forever;

His ^bhorn will be exalted in honor.

¹⁰The ^awicked will see it and be ¹vexed,

He will ^bgnash his teeth and ^cmelt away;

The ^ddesire of the wicked will perish.

PSALM 113

The Lord Exalts the Humble.

¹¹Praise ²the Lord!

^aPraise, O ^bservants of the Lord,

Praise the name of the Lord.

^2aBlessed be the name of the Lord

From this time forth and forever.

^3aFrom the rising of the sun to its setting

The ^bname of the Lord is to be praised.

⁴The Lord is ^ahigh above all nations;

His ^bglory is above the heavens.

^5aWho is like the Lord our God,

Who ^bis enthroned on high,

⁶Who ^1ahumbles Himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

⁷He ^araises the poor from the dust

And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

⁸To make them ^asit with ¹princes,

With the princes of His people.

⁹He ^amakes the barren woman abide in the house

As a joyful mother of children.

¹Praise ²the Lord!
