Psalm 112

Praise the Lord! 
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, 
    who greatly delights in his commandments! 
His offspring will be mighty in the land; 
    the generation of the upright will be blessed. 
Wealth and riches are in his house, 
    and his righteousness endures forever. 
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; 
    he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. 
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; 
    who conducts his affairs with justice. 
For the righteous will never be moved; 
    he will be remembered forever. 
He is not afraid of bad news; 
    his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. 
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, 
    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. 
He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; 
    his righteousness endures forever; 
    his horn is exalted in honor. 
The wicked man sees it and is angry; 
    he gnashes his teeth and melts away; 
    the desire of the wicked will perish!
