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!

# Psalm 112 In Hebrew, each line of this psalm begins with the next letter in the alphabet. 1Praise the Lord!
Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord,
who are happy to do what he commands.
2Their descendants will be given power on earth.
Those who do right will be greatly blessed.
3Their family will be very rich,
and their goodness will continue forever.
4A light shines in the dark for those who are good,
for those who are merciful, kind, and fair.
5It is good for people to be kind and generous
and to be fair in business.
6Such good people will never fall.
They will always be remembered.
7They will not be afraid of bad news.
They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
8They remain confident and without fear,
so they defeat their enemies.
9They freely give to the poor.
Their goodness will continue forever.
They will be honored with victory.
10The wicked become angry when they see this.
They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear.
They will never get what they want most.
