Psalm 112

1 Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.

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

2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.

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

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

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

5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.

5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;

6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.

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

7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

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

9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.

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 see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings 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.
