Psalm 112

1. Halleluyah! 1 How happy is anyone who fears Adonai, 1 who greatly delights in his mitzvot.

2. His descendants will be powerful on earth, 2 a blessed generation of upright people.

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

4. To the upright he shines like a light in the dark, 4 merciful, compassionate and righteous.

5. Things go well with the person who is merciful and lends, 5 who conducts his affairs with fairness;

6. for he will never be moved. 6 The righteous will be remembered forever.

7. He will not be frightened by bad news; 7 he remains steady, trusting in Adonai.

8. His heart is set firm, he will not be afraid, 8 till finally he looks in triumph at his enemies.

9. He distributes freely, he gives to the poor; 9 his righteousness stands forever. 9 His power will be increased honorably.

10. The wicked will be angry when they see this; 10 they will gnash their teeth and waste away, 10 the desires of the wicked will come to nothing.
