# Psalm 112 (New King James Version) The Blessed State of the Righteous ##### Chapter 112 ###### 1 Praise the Lord! Blessed _is_ the man _who_ fears the Lord, _Who_ delights greatly in His commandments. ###### 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. ###### 3 Wealth and riches _will be_ in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. ###### 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; _He is_ gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. ###### 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. ###### 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. ###### 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. ###### 8 His heart _is_ established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees _his desire_ upon his enemies. ###### 9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor. ###### 10 The wicked will see _it_ and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
