Psalms 112

MSG

NIV

1 Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear God, Who cherish and relish his commandments,
1 Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.
2 Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright - how blessed!
2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry.
3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.
4 Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people - God's grace and mercy and justice!
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation.
6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.
7 Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in God,
7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies,
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9 They lavish gifts on the poor - A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life!
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 Someone wicked takes one look and rages, Blusters away but ends up speechless. There's nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing.
10 The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
