| Chapter 112 |
1 | Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws. |
2 | His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright. |
3 | A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever. |
4 | For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity. |
5 | All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged. |
6 | He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever. |
7 | He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord. |
8 | His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters. |
9 | He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour. |
10 | The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing. |
