Psalms 112

1Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

1Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

1Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

2Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

3Wealth and riches <FI>are<Fi> in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

4Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

5Good <FI>is<Fi> the man--gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

6He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

6For--to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

7Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

8His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

8Sustained is his heart--he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

9He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

9He hath scattered--hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

10The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

10 The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
