Psalm 112

₁ Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who greatly delights in his commandments!

₂His offspring will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

₃Wealth and riches are in his house,

and his righteousness endures forever.

₄Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;

he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

₅It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;

who conducts his affairs with justice.

₆For the righteous will never be moved;

he will be remembered forever.

₇He is not afraid of bad news;

his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

₈His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,

until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

₉He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever;

his horn is exalted in honor.

₁₀The wicked man sees it and is angry;

he gnashes his teeth and melts away;

the desire of the wicked will perish!
