Psalms 112

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Al eluia! How blessed is anyone who fears Yahweh, who delights in his commandments!	1 Hallelujah! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in God's commands.
2 His descendants shal be powerful on earth, the race of the honest shal receive blessings:	2 Their descendants shall be mighty in the land, generation upright and blessed.
3 Riches and wealth for his family; his uprightness stands firm for ever.	3 Wealth and riches shall be in their homes; their prosperity shall endure forever.
4 For the honest he shines as a lamp in the dark, generous, tender-hearted, and upright.	4 They shine through the darkness, a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and just.
5 Al goes wel for one who lends generously, who is honest in al his dealing;	5 All goes well for those gracious in lending, who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 for al time to come he wil not stumble, for al time to come the upright wil be remembered.	6 They shall never be shaken; the just shall be remembered forever.
7 Bad news holds no fears for him, firm is his heart, trusting in Yahweh.	7 They shall not fear an ill report; their hearts are steadfast, trusting the LORD.
8 His heart held steady, he has no fears, til he can gloat over his enemies.	8 Their hearts are tranquil, without fear, till at last they look down on their foes.
9 To the needy he gives without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever; his reputation is founded onstrength.	9 Lavishly they give to the poor; their prosperity shall endure forever; their horn shall be exalted in honor.
10 The wicked are vexed at the sight, they grind their teeth and waste away. The desires of the wickedwil be frustrated.	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.
