Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10(not in this translation)

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