Psalm 112

Praise the Lord! Blessed is the one who fears the Lord, *

who has great delight in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty in the land; *

the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.

Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house, *

and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

For the upright, there rises light in the darkness; *

he is merciful, loving, and righteous.

It is good for him to be generous in lending *

and to guide his words with discretion.

For he shall never be moved, *

and the righteous shall be kept in everlasting remembrance.

He will not be afraid of any evil tidings, *

for his heart is steadfast and trusts in the Lord.

His heart is established, and will not fear; *

at the last he shall see his desire upon his enemies.

He has given freely to the poor, *

and his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

The ungodly shall see it, and shall be angry; *

he shall gnash his teeth, and waste away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
