Psalm 112

1 Halleluyah! How happy is anyone who fears ADONAI, who greatly delights in his mitzvot.

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

2 His descendants will be powerful on earth, a blessed generation of upright people.

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness stands forever.

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

4 To the upright he shines like a light in the dark, merciful, compassionate and righteous.

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

5 Things go well with the person who is merciful and lends, who conducts his affairs with fairness;

5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;

6 for he will never be moved. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

7 He will not be frightened by bad news; he remains steady, trusting in ADONAI.

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

8 His heart is set firm, he will not be afraid, till finally he looks in triumph at his enemies.

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

9 He distributes freely, he gives to the poor; his righteousness stands forever. His power will be increased honorably.

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 will be angry when they see this; they will gnash their teeth and waste away, the desires of the wicked will come 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.
