Psalms 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

1Praise the Lord !

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord ,

Who delights greatly in His commandments.

2His descendants will be mighty on earth;[#(Ps. 102:28)]

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches will be in his house,[#Prov. 3:16; 8:18; (Matt. 6:33)]

And his righteousness endures forever.

4Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;[#Job 11:17; Ps. 97:11]

He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5A good man deals graciously and lends;[#Ps. 37:26; (Luke 6:35)]

He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6Surely he will never be shaken;

The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7He will not be afraid of evil tidings;[#(Prov. 1:33)]

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord .

8His heart is established;[#Heb. 13:9]

He will not be afraid,

Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9He has dispersed abroad,

He has given to the poor;

His righteousness endures forever;

His horn will be exalted with honor.

10The wicked will see it and be grieved;

He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

The desire of the wicked shall perish.
