Psalm 112

Modern English Version

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    who delights greatly in His commandments.

² His offspring shall be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
³ Wealth and riches shall be in his house,
    and his righteousness endures forever.
⁴ To the upright there arises light in the darkness;
    he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
⁵ A good man shows generous favor, and lends;
    he will guide his affairs with justice.

⁶ Surely the righteous man shall not be moved;
    the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings;
    his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
⁸ His heart is established; he shall not be afraid,
    until he sees triumph upon his enemies.
⁹ He has given away freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever;
    his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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