Psalms 112
112
1Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
10The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

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!
