Psalm 112

Blessings of the Righteous

¹Praise the Lord!

Happy are those who fear the Lord,

who greatly delight in his commandments.^*

²Their descendants will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.^*

³Wealth and riches are in their houses,

and their righteousness endures forever.

⁴They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;

they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.^*

⁵It is well with those who deal generously and lend,

who conduct their affairs with justice.

⁶For the righteous will never be moved;

they will be remembered forever.^*

⁷They are not afraid of evil tidings;

their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.^*

⁸Their hearts are steady; they will not be afraid;

in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.^*

⁹They have distributed freely; they have given to the poor;

their righteousness endures forever;

their horn is exalted in honor.^*

¹⁰The wicked see it and are angry;

they gnash their teeth and melt away;

the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.^*
