Psalms 112
Prosperity of One Who Fears the LORD.
1 (F1)Praise (F2)the LORD!
(C1)Blessed is a person who (F3)fears the LORD,
Who greatly (C2)delights in His commandments.
2 His (F1)(C1)descendants will be mighty (F2)on the earth;
The generation of the (C2)upright will be blessed.
3 (C1)Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness (C1)for the upright;
He is (C2)gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for a person who (C1)is gracious and lends;
He will (F1)maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will (C1)never be shaken;
The (C2)righteous will be (F1)remembered forever.
7 He will not fear (C1)bad news;
His (C2)heart is steadfast, (C3)trusting in the LORD.
8 His (C1)heart is firm, he (C2)will not fear,
(F1)But will (C3)look with satisfaction on his enemies.
9 (F1)He (C1)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His (C2)horn will be exalted in honor.
10 The (C1)wicked will see it and be (F1)vexed,
He will (C2)gnash his teeth and (C3)melt away;
The (C4)desire of the wicked will perish.
