Psalms 112

   |   

The Happiness of a Good Person

1 Praise the Lord!

Happy is the person who honors the Lord,
    who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land;
    his descendants will be blessed.
3 His family will be wealthy and rich,
    and he will be prosperous forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness for good people,
    for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,
    who runs his business honestly.
6 A good person will never fail;
    he will always be remembered.

7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news;
    his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
8 He is not worried or afraid;
    he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
9 (a)He gives generously to the needy,
    and his kindness never fails;
    he will be powerful and respected.
10 The wicked see this and are angry;
    they glare in hate and disappear;
    their hopes are gone forever.
