Psalms 112

Blessed is He who Fears the Lord

1 Praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
 who greatly delights in his commandments!
2 His offspring 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 forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
 he 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 forever.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;
 his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
 until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
 his righteousness endures forever;
 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 will perish!
