<sup>Psalm 112

1</sup>Praise the LORD.
     Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
     who finds great delight in his commands.

 ² His children will be mighty in the land;
       the generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

 ⁴ Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
       for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

 ⁵ Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
       who conducts his affairs with justice.

 ⁶ Surely he will never be shaken;
       a righteous man will be remembered forever.

 ⁷ He will have no fear of bad news;
       his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

 ⁸ His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
       in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

 ⁹ He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
       his righteousness endures forever;
       his horn will be lifted high in honor.

 ¹⁰ The wicked man will see and be vexed,
       he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
       the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
