Psalms 112

¹ Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!

² His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

³ Wealth and riches are in his house; and his righteousness endures for ever.

⁴ Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the LORD is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

⁵ It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.

⁶ For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever.

⁷ He is not afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

⁸ His heart is steady, he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire on his adversaries.

⁹ He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn is exalted in honor.

¹⁰ The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked man comes to nought.
