Psalm 112

1 Praise the LORD! Those who honor the LORD, who adore God's commandments, are truly happy!

1 Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear God, Who cherish and relish his commandments,

2 Their descendants will be strong throughout the land. The offspring of those who do right will be blessed;

2 Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright - how blessed!

3 wealth and riches will be in their houses. Their righteousness stands forever.

3 Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry.

4 They shine in the dark for others who do right. They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.

4 Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people - God's grace and mercy and justice!

5 Those who lend generously are good people— as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.

5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;

6 Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever!

6 No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation.

7 They won't be frightened at bad news. Their hearts are steady, trusting in the LORD.

7 Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in God,

8 Their hearts are firm; they aren't afraid. In the end, they will witness their enemies' defeat.

8 Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies,

9 They give freely to those in need. Their righteousness stands forever. Their strength increases gloriously.

9 They lavish gifts on the poor - A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life!

10 The wicked see all this and fume; they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing. What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!

10 Someone wicked takes one look and rages, Blusters away but ends up speechless. There's nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing.
