Psalm 112 Blessed State of the Righteous

Psalm 112:1-10 Blessed State of the Righteous

1 Praise the Lord! (Hebrew: Hallelujah)

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

Psalm 112:2-8
2
His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5
A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6
Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8
His heart is established;
He will not be afraid,
Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

Psalm 112:9-10
9
He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His [horn will be exalted with honor.
10
The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
