Psalm 112

¹Praise the Lord.

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,

who find great delight in his commands.

²Their children will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in their houses,

and their righteousness endures forever.

⁴Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

⁵Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,

who conduct their affairs with justice.

⁶Surely the righteous will never be shaken;

they will be remembered forever.

⁷They will have no fear of bad news;

their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

⁸Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;

in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

⁹They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,

their righteousness endures forever;

their horn will be lifted high in honor.

¹⁰The wicked will see and be vexed,

they will gnash their teeth and waste away;

the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
