Psalm 112

¹Hallelujah! Happy are they who fear the Lord *and have great delight in his commandments!

²Their descendants will be mighty in the land; *the generation of the upright will be blessed.

³Wealth and riches will be in their house, *and their righteousness will last for ever.

⁴Light shines in the darkness for the upright; *the righteous are merciful and full of compassion.

⁵It is good for them to be generous in lending *and to manage their affairs with justice.

⁶For they will never be shaken; *the righteous will be kept in everlasting remembrance.

⁷They will not be afraid of any evil rumors; *their heart is right; they put their trust in the Lord.

⁸Their heart is established and will not shrink, *until they see their desire upon their enemies.

⁹They have given freely to the poor, *and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will hold up their head with honor.

¹⁰The wicked will see it and be angry; they will gnash their teeth and pine away; *the desires of the wicked will perish.
