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.

Psalms 112
112
The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked
1Praise Yah!#Hebrew hallelujah
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh;
he takes great delight in his commands.
2His descendants#Literally “seed” will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4His light rises in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5It goes well for a man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his business properly.#Literally “matters in justice”
6For he will not be shaken forever;
the righteous will be remembered forever.#Literally “will be for an eternal remembrance”
7He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, secure#Or “full of trust” in Yahweh.
8His heart is sustained; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his enemies.
9He gives lavishly#Literally “He distributes freely, he gives” to the needy;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn rises high in honor.
10The wicked#Singular sees it and is vexed.
He gnashes his teeth and becomes weak.#Literally “and melts”
The desire of the wicked#Plural perishes.
