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 Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Rewards for the Upright and Their Descendants

2
Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3
Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Character of the Compassionate Man

4
Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5
Good is the man--gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

Security and Undying Remembrance

6
For--to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7
Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8
Sustained is his heart--he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9
He hath scattered--hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

The Ultimate Fate of the Wicked

10
The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
