Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy is the person who honors the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.
3 His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly.
6 A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered.
7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
8 He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
9 He gives generously to the needy, 1 and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected.
10 The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
