Psalm 112

The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

1 t 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!

Psalm 112

1  Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

6 For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.
