Psalms 112

Prosperity of One Who Fears the Lord.

11Praise 2the Lord! 3Blessed is a person who 4fears the Lord, Who greatly 5delights in His commandments.2His 67descendants will be mighty 8on the earth; The generation of the 9upright will be blessed.310Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.4Light shines in the darkness 11for the upright; He is 12gracious, compassionate, and righteous.5It goes well for a person who 13is gracious and lends; He will 14maintain his cause in judgment.6For he will 15never be shaken; The 16righteous will be 17remembered forever.

7He will not fear 18bad news; His 19heart is steadfast, 20trusting in the Lord.8His 21heart is firm, he 22will not fear, 23But will 24look with satisfaction on his enemies.925He 26has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His 27horn will be exalted in honor.

10The 28wicked will see it and be 29vexed, He will 30gnash his teeth and 31melt away; The 32desire of the wicked will perish.
