Psalms 112

Psalm 112 1

Praise the Lord!

How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord,

who takes great delight in keeping his commands.

2

His descendants will be powerful on the earth;

the godly will be blessed.

3

His house contains wealth and riches;

his integrity endures.

4

In the darkness a light shines for the godly,

for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

5

It goes well for the one who generously lends money,

and conducts his business honestly.

6

For he will never be upended;

others will always remember one who is just.

7

He does not fear bad news.

He is confident; he trusts in the Lord.

8

His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear

before he looks in triumph on his enemies.

9

He generously gives to the needy;

his integrity endures.

He will be vindicated and honored.

10

When the wicked see this, they will worry;

they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away;

the desire of the wicked will perish.
