Psalms 112:1-5

1Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience], Who delights greatly in His commandments.

2His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.

4Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).

5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He conducts his affairs with justice.
