Psalm 112

1. Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord;
   and greatly delight in God's commandments.
2. Their descendants will be mighty in the land;
   the children of the upright will be blessed.
3. Riches and plenty shall fill their houses;
   righteousness shall be theirs for ever.
4. They are a light in the darkness for the upright;
   being gracious compassionate and just.
5. It goes well with those who are generous in lending;
   who conduct their affairs with justice.
6. For the righteous will never be shaken;
   they will be kept in remembrance for ever.
7. They will not live in fear of bad news;
   because with steadfast heart they trust in the Lord.
8. Their heart is steady they will not fear;
   in the end they shall see their enemies downfall.
9. They give freely to the poor;
   their righteousness stand for ever,
   and they will hold up their head with honour.
10. The wicked will be vexed when they see it;
    they will grind their teeth and slink away,
    for the hopes of the wicked shall come to nothing.
