Psalms 112

1Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

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

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

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

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

3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

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

4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

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

5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

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

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

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

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

7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

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

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

8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

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

9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

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

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

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

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