Psalms 112:1-6

1 Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, Who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed will be mighty on earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, Gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
