Psalms 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 shaken; 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.
