Psalm 112

The Traits of the Righteous

1   Hallelujah! C

Happy is the person who fears the LORD,

taking great delight in his commands. s

2   His descendants will be powerful in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed. t

3   Wealth and riches are in his house, u

and his righteousness endures forever. v

4   Light shines in the darkness for the upright. w

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous. x

5   Good will come to the one who lends generously

and conducts his business fairly. y

6   He will never be shaken. z

The righteous one will be remembered forever. a

7   He will not fear bad news;

his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD. b

8   His heart is assured; he will not fear. c

In the end he will look in triumph on his foes. d

9   He distributes freely to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever. e

His horn will be exalted in honor. f

10   The wicked one will see it and be angry;

he will gnash his teeth in despair. g

The desire of the wicked leads to ruin. h
