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.

1Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

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.

2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

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.

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

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.

4The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

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.

5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

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.

6and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

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.

7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

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.

8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

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.

9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

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!
