Psalms 112

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

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.

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

3Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth 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 isgracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

5Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause 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.

6For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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 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 seehis desireupon 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 needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

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