Psalm 112:

Blessings of the Righteous

112 Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who greatly delights in his commandments!

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house;

and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 Light rises in the darkness for the upright;

the Lord is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends,

who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 For the righteous will never be moved;

he will be remembered for ever.

7 He is not afraid of evil tidings;

his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is steady, he will not be afraid,

until he sees his desire on his adversaries.

9 He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures for ever;

his horn is exalted in honor.

10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;

he gnashes his teeth and melts away;

the desire of the wicked man comes to nought.
