Psalm 112

New International Version

from Biblica

1 Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. 

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

3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures for ever. 

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. 

5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. 

6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered for ever. 

7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 

8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. 

9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures for ever; their horn will be lifted high in honour. 

10 The 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

La Bible du Semeur

from Biblica

Le bonheur des fidèles

1 Louez l’Eternel! Heureux est l’homme qui craint l’Eternel et trouve un grand plaisir ╵à ses commandements! (Ps 9:1; Ps 111:1) 

2 Sa postérité sera forte ╵dans le pays et la génération du juste ╵sera bénie. 

3 Abondance et richesse ╵règnent dans sa maison, et sa conduite juste ╵sera pour toujours prise en compte. (Ps 111:3) 

4 Une lumière luit ╵dans les ténèbres, ╵pour les gens droits, ceux qui font grâce, ╵qui sont compatissants et justes. (Ps 111:4) 

5 Il est bon qu’un homme ait de l’empathie ╵et qu’il prête à autrui, et qu’avec équité, ╵il gère ses affaires; 

6 ainsi ne trébuchera-t-il jamais, et l’on se souviendra ╵du juste pour toujours. 

7 Il ne craint pas ╵de mauvaises nouvelles, il a le cœur tranquille, ╵confiant en l’Eternel. 

8 Plein d’assurance, ╵il est sans crainte, dans l’attente de voir ╵le sort réservé à ses ennemis. 

9 Il donne aux pauvres ╵avec largesse, et sa conduite juste ╵sera pour toujours prise en compte. Il peut garder la tête haute ╵et il est honoré. (2Co 9:9) 

10 Le méchant le constate ╵et s’en irrite, grince des dents ╵et se démoralise. Le désir des méchants ╵n’aboutira à rien.
