Psalms 112

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.	1 Hallelujah! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in God's commands.
2 Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.	2 Their descendants shall be mighty in the land, generation upright and blessed.
3 From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.	3 Wealth and riches shall be in their homes; their prosperity shall endure forever.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.	4 They shine through the darkness, a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and just.
5 Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,	5 All goes well for those gracious in lending, who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?	6 They shall never be shaken; the just shall be remembered forever.
7 He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,	7 They shall not fear an ill report; their hearts are steadfast, trusting the LORD.
8 so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.	8 Their hearts are tranquil, without fear, till at last they look down on their foes.
9 He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.	9 Lavishly they give to the poor; their prosperity shall endure forever; their horn shall be exalted in honor.
	10 The wicked shall be angry to see this; they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked come to nothing.
