1[1] Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments! (Ps 1:2; Ps 104:35; Ps 111:10; Ps 115:13; Ps 128:1; Ps 128:4)2His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. (Ps 25:13; Ps 37:26; Ps 102:28; Pr 11:21; Pr 20:7)3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. (Ps 111:3; Pr 3:16)4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. (Job 11:17; Ps 97:11; Mt 1:19)5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. (Ps 37:26)6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. (Ps 55:22; Pr 10:7)7He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. (Ps 11:1; Ps 57:7; Ps 64:10; Pr 1:33)8His heart is steady;[2] he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.9He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. (Ps 75:10; 2Co 9:9)10The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish! (Job 8:13; Job 16:9; Ps 58:8; Mt 8:12; Lu 13:28)
Psalm 112
New International Version
from Biblica1Praise the Lord.[1] Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.2Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.3Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures for ever.4Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.5Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.6Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered for ever.7They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.8Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.9They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures for ever; their horn[2] will be lifted high in honour.10The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
Psalm 112
King James Version
1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.10The wicked shall see it , and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Psalm 112
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who have respect for the LORD. They find great delight when they obey God’s commands.2Their children will be powerful in the land. Because they are honest, their children will be blessed.3Their family will have wealth and riches. They will always be blessed for doing what is right.4Even in the darkness light shines on honest people. It shines on those who are kind and tender and godly.5Good things will come to those who are willing to lend freely. Good things will come to those who are fair in everything they do.6Those who do what is right will always be secure. They will be remembered for ever.7They aren’t afraid when bad news comes. They stand firm because they trust in the LORD.8Their hearts are secure. They aren’t afraid. In the end they will see their enemies destroyed.9They have spread their gifts around to poor people. Their good works continue for ever. They will be powerful and honoured.10Evil people will see it and be upset. They will grind their teeth and become weaker and weaker. What evil people long to do can’t succeed.
