Psalms 112

   |   

Psalm 112[a]

1 Praise the Lord.[b](a)

Blessed are those(b) who fear the Lord,(c)
    who find great delight(d) in his commands.

2 Their children(e) will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches(f) are in their houses,
    and their righteousness endures(g) forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns(h) for the upright,
    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(i)
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(j)
    who conduct their affairs with justice.

6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(k)
    they will be remembered(l) forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast,(m) trusting in the Lord.(n)
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(o)
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(p)
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(q)
    their righteousness endures(r) forever;
    their horn[c] will be lifted(s) high in honor.

10 The wicked will see(t) and be vexed,
    they will gnash their teeth(u) and waste away;(v)
    the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(w)
