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

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica

1 Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who have respect for the LORD. They find great delight when they obey God’s commands. 

2 Their children will be powerful in the land. Because they are honest, their children will be blessed. 

3 Their family will have wealth and riches. They will always be blessed for doing what is right. 

4 Even in the darkness light shines on honest people. It shines on those who are kind and tender and godly. 

5 Good things will come to those who are willing to lend freely. Good things will come to those who are fair in everything they do. 

6 Those who do what is right will always be secure. They will be remembered for ever. 

7 They aren’t afraid when bad news comes. They stand firm because they trust in the LORD. 

8 Their hearts are secure. They aren’t afraid. In the end they will see their enemies destroyed. 

9 They have spread their gifts around to poor people. Their good works continue for ever. They will be powerful and honoured. 

10 Evil 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.
