Psalms112

Psalm 112 extols the blessedness of the man who fears the LORD and delights greatly in His commandments. Such a righteous individual is promised prosperity, a mighty lineage, and light in darkness. He is characterized by grace, compassion, and generosity, remaining steadfast and trusting in the LORD. His righteousness endures forever, and his memory is everlasting, while the wicked ultimately perish.

The Blessedness of Fearing the Lord

1
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

Rewards for the Upright and Their Descendants

2
His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
3
Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

Character of the Compassionate Man

4
Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.
5
A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

Security and Undying Remembrance

6
Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.
7
He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.
8
His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.
9
He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

The Ultimate Fate of the Wicked

10
The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
