Psalm 112

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who fear the Lord, who greatly delight in his commandments.

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

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

4 They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice.

6 For the righteous will never be moved; they will be remembered forever.

7 They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.

8 Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

9 They have distributed freely, they have given to the poor; their righteousness endures forever; their horn is exalted in honor.

10 The wicked see it and are angry; they gnash their teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.

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

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

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

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

5 The good person is generous and lends lavishly;

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

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

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

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

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