Psalm 112The Traits of the Righteous
-
Hallelujah! Happy is the person who fears the Lord, taking great delight in his commands.
-
His descendants will be powerful in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
-
Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
-
Light shines in the darkness for the upright. He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
-
Good will come to the one who lends generously and conducts his business fairly.
-
He will never be shaken. The righteous one will be remembered forever.
-
He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.
-
His heart is assured; he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
-
He distributes freely to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted in honor.
-
The wicked one will see it and be angry; he will gnash his teeth in despair. The desire of the wicked leads to ruin.
