Psalm 112

PSALM 112

¹Praise the Lord.

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who greatly delights in his commandments!

²His descendants 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 for ever.

⁴Light rises in the darkness for the upright;

the Lord is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

⁵It is well with the man who deals generously and lends,

who conducts his affairs with justice.

⁶For the righteous will never be moved;

he will be remembered for ever.

⁷He is not afraid of evil tidings;

his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

⁸His heart is steady, he will not be afraid,

until he sees his desire on his adversaries.

⁹He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures for ever;

his horn is exalted in honor.

¹⁰The wicked man sees it and is angry;

he gnashes his teeth and melts away;

the desire of the wicked man comes to nought.
