Psalms 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

1Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments.

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

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

4Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

8His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.

10The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
