Psalm 112
1 Praise the Lord.(A)
Blessed are those(B) who fear the Lord,(C)
who find great delight(D) in his commands.
2 Their children(E) will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches(F) are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures(G) forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns(H) for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(I)
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(J)
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(K)
they will be remembered(L) forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast,(M) trusting in the Lord.(N)
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(O)
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(P)
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)
their righteousness endures(R) forever;
their horn will be lifted(S) high in honor.
10 The wicked will see(T) and be vexed,
they will gnash their teeth(U) and waste away;(V)
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(W)
