Psalm 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

1 Praise 1the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

Who adelights greatly in His commandments.

2 bHis descendants will be mighty on earth;

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 cWealth and riches will be in his house,

And his righteousness 2endures forever.

4 dUnto the upright there arises light in the darkness;

He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 eA good man deals graciously and lends;

He will guide his affairs fwith discretion.

6 Surely he will never be shaken;

gThe righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 hHe will not be afraid of evil tidings;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

8 His iheart is established;

jHe will not be afraid,

Until he ksees his desire upon his enemies.

9 He has dispersed abroad,

He has given to the poor;

His righteousness endures forever;

His 3horn will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;

He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

The desire of the wicked shall perish.
