Psalms 112
Blessings of the Righteous
1
Praise the LORD!
Happy are those who fear the LORD,
who greatly delight in his commandments.
2
Their descendants will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3
Wealth and riches are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures forever.
4
They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;
they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5
It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6
For the righteous will never be moved;
they will be remembered forever.
7
They are not afraid of evil tidings;
their hearts are firm, secure in the LORD.
8
Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid;
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9
They have distributed freely, they have given to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever;
their horn is exalted in honor.
10
The wicked see it and are angry;
they gnash their teeth and melt away;
the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.
