^1. Psalm 112 [1]

^1. Praise the LORD. [2] Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands.

^2. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

^3. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

^4. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. [3]

^5. Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.

^6. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.

^7. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

^8. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

^9. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn [4] will be lifted high in honor.

^10. The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
