Ps 112:1-10
1Hallelujah!
Blessed the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in his commands.a
2His descendants shall be mighty in the land,
a generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house;
his righteousness* shall endure forever.
4Light shines through the darkness for the upright;b
gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5It is good for the man gracious in lending,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6For he shall never be shaken;
the righteous shall be remembered forever.c
7He shall not fear an ill report;
his heart is steadfast, trusting the LORD.
8His heart is tranquil, without fear,
till at last he looks down on his foes.
9Lavishly he gives to the poor;
his righteousness shall endure forever;d
his horn* shall be exalted in honor.
10The wicked sees and is angry;
gnashes his teeth and wastes away;
the desire of the wicked come to nothing.
