Psalm 112

MSG

KJV

1 Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear God, Who cherish and relish his commandments,
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright - how blessed!
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people - God's grace and mercy and justice!
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in God,
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies,
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 They lavish gifts on the poor - A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life!
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
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 shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
