Psalm 112

Prosperity Of The One Who Fears The LORD.

1Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],
Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever. 4Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God). 5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He conducts his affairs with justice. 6He will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever. 7He will not fear bad news;
His heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the LORD. 8His heart is upheld, he will not fear
While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries. 9He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor. 10The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.
