Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10(not in this translation)

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.
