Psalm 112

Blessings of the Righteous

1Praise the Lord!
    Happy are those who fear the Lord,
    who greatly delight in his commandments.
2Their descendants will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in their houses,
    and their righteousness endures forever.
4They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;
    they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
    who conduct their affairs with justice.
6For the righteous will never be moved;
    they will be remembered forever.
7They are not afraid of evil tidings;
    their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.
8Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid;
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9They have distributed freely, they have given to the poor;
    their righteousness endures forever;
    their horn is exalted in honor.
10The wicked see it and are angry;
    they gnash their teeth and melt away;
    the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.
