Psalms 112

  1. 1

    Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.

  2. 2

    His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed.

  3. 3

    His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures.

  4. 4

    In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

  5. 5

    It goes well for the one who generously lends money and conducts his business honestly.

  6. 6

    For he will never be shaken; others will always remember one who is just.

  7. 7

    He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the Lord.

  8. 8

    His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies.

  9. 9

    He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored.

  10. 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.
