Psalms 112
112
The Happiness of a Good Person
1Praise the LORD!
Happy is the person who honours the LORD,
who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
2The good man's children will be powerful in the land;
his descendants will be blessed.
3His family will be wealthy and rich,
and he will be prosperous for ever.
4Light shines in the darkness for good people,
for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
5Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,
who runs his business honestly.
6A good person will never fail;
he will always be remembered.
7He is not afraid of receiving bad news;
his faith is strong, and he trusts in the LORD.
8He is not worried or afraid;
he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
9 #
2 Cor 9.9
He gives generously to the needy,
and his kindness never fails;
he will be powerful and respected.
10The wicked see this and are angry;
they glare in hate and disappear;
their hopes are gone for ever.

Psalm 112
Prosperity of the One Who Fears the Lord.
1Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],
Who delights greatly in His commandments. [Deut 10:12]
2His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).
5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He conducts his affairs with justice. [Ps 37:26; Luke 6:35; Col 4:5]
6He will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever. [Prov 10:7]
7¶He will not fear bad news;
His heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the Lord.
8His heart is upheld, he will not fear
While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries.
9He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor. [2 Cor 9:9]
10¶The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.
