Psalm 112

Prosperity of One Who Fears the Lord.

1Praise the Lord ![#112:1 Or Hallelujah! Blessed; #112:1 Heb Yah]

Blessed is a person who fears the Lord ,

Who greatly delights in His commandments.

2His descendants will be mighty on the earth;[#112:2 Lit seed; #112:2 Or in the land]

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house,

And his righteousness endures forever.

4Light shines in the darkness for the upright;

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5It goes well for a person who is gracious and lends;

He will maintain his cause in judgment.

6For he will never be shaken;

The righteous will be remembered forever.

7¶He will not fear bad news;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord .

8His heart is firm, he will not fear,

But will look with satisfaction on his enemies.

9He has given freely to the poor,[#112:9 Lit He has scattered, he has given to...]

His righteousness endures forever;

His horn will be exalted in honor.

10¶The wicked will see it and be vexed,[#112:10 Or angry]

He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

The desire of the wicked will perish.
