Psalms 112

   |   

Prosperity of the One Who Fears the Lord.

1 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
How (a)blessed is the man who [c]fears the Lord,
Who greatly (b)delights in His commandments.
2 His [d](c)descendants will be mighty [e]on earth;
The generation of the (d)upright will be blessed.
3 (e)Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light arises in the darkness (f)for the upright;
He is (g)gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who (h)is gracious and lends;
He will [f]maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will (i)never be shaken;
The (j)righteous will be [g]remembered forever.

7 He will not fear (k)evil tidings;
His (l)heart is steadfast, (m)trusting in the Lord.
8 His (n)heart is upheld, he (o)will not fear,
Until he (p)looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.
9 [h]He (q)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His (r)horn will be exalted in honor.

10 The (s)wicked will see it and be [i]vexed,
He will (t)gnash his teeth and (u)melt away;
The (v)desire of the wicked will perish.
