Psalms 112
|
Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. | Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws. |
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed. | His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright. |
Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever. | A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever. |
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous. | For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity. |
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment. | All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged. |
For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. | He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever. |
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah. | He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord. |
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries. | His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters. |
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor. | He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour. |
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 113 | The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing. |
