Psalm 112
New American Standard Bible
Prosperity of One Who Fears the Lord.
112 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
(A)Blessed is a person who [c]fears the Lord,
Who greatly (B)delights in His commandments.
2 His [d](C)descendants will be mighty [e]on the earth;
The generation of the (D)upright will be blessed.
3 (E)Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness (F)for the upright;
He is (G)gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for a person who (H)is gracious and lends;
He will [f]maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will (I)never be shaken;
The (J)righteous will be [g]remembered forever.
7 He will not fear (K)bad news;
His (L)heart is steadfast, (M)trusting in the Lord.
8 His (N)heart is firm, he (O)will not fear,
[h]But will (P)look with satisfaction on his enemies.
9 [i]He (Q)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His (R)horn will be exalted in honor.
10 The (S)wicked will see it and be [j]vexed,
He will (T)gnash his teeth and (U)melt away;
The (V)desire of the wicked will perish.
