Psalms 112
112
# 112 This psalm is a Hebrew acrostic poem; after the introductory note of praise, each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. 1Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord
and delight in obeying his commands.
2Their children will be successful everywhere;
an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
3They themselves will be wealthy,
and their good deeds will last forever.
4Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
5Good comes to those who lend money generously
and conduct their business fairly.
6Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
7They do not fear bad news;
they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
8They are confident and fearless
and can face their foes triumphantly.
9They share freely and give generously to those in need.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
They will have influence and honor.
10The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

The Blessed State of the Righteous
1Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who #Ps. 128:1delights greatly in His commandments.
2#(Ps. 102:28)His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3#Prov. 3:16; 8:18; (Matt. 6:33)Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4#Job 11:17; Ps. 97:11Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5#Ps. 37:26; (Luke 6:35)A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs #(Eph. 5:15; Col. 4:5)with discretion.
6Surely he will never be shaken;
#Prov. 10:7The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7#(Prov. 1:33)He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8His #Heb. 13:9heart is established;
#(Ps. 27:1; 56:11); Prov. 1:33; 3:24; (Is. 12:2)He will not be afraid,
Until he #Ps. 59:10sees his desire upon his enemies.
9He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
