Psalm 112
112
The Righteous Will Never Be Moved
1 # 112:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, each line beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet #See Ps. 104:35 Praise the Lord!
#
Ps. 128:1, 4; [Ps. 111:10; 115:13] Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who #See Ps. 1:2greatly delights in his commandments!
2His #[Ps. 25:13; 102:28; Prov. 11:21; 20:7] offspring will be mighty in the land;
#
Ps. 37:26
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 # See Prov. 3:16 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his #[Ps. 111:3]righteousness endures forever.
4Light dawns in the darkness #[Job 11:17]; See Ps. 97:11 for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and #[Matt. 1:19]righteous.
5It is well with the man who #See Ps. 37:26deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6For the righteous will #Ps. 55:22 never be moved;
# [Prov. 10:7] he will be remembered forever.
7He is not #Prov. 1:33 afraid of bad news;
his #Ps. 57:7 heart is firm, #Ps. 11:1; 64:10trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is steady;#112:8 Or established (compare 111:8) he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9He has #Cited 2 Cor. 9:9 distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his #See Ps. 75:10horn is exalted in honor.
10The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he #[Matt. 8:12; Luke 13:28]; See Job 16:9 gnashes his teeth and #[Ps. 58:8] melts away;
# See Job 8:13 the desire of the wicked will perish!

1Praise the LORD!
Those who honor the LORD,
who adore God’s commandments, are truly happy!
2Their descendants will be strong throughout the land.
The offspring of those who do right will be blessed;
3wealth and riches will be in their houses.
Their righteousness stands forever.
4They shine in the dark for others who do right.
They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.
5Those who lend generously are good people—
as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.
6Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken;
the righteous will be remembered forever!
7They won’t be frightened at bad news.
Their hearts are steady, trusting in the LORD.
8Their hearts are firm; they aren’t afraid.
In the end, they will witness their enemies’ defeat.
9They give freely to those in need.
Their righteousness stands forever.
Their strength increases gloriously.
10The wicked see all this and fume;
they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing.
What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!
