Psalms 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous
1Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who #Ps. 128:1delights greatly in His commandments.
2#(Ps. 102:28)His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3#Prov. 3:16; 8:18; (Matt. 6:33)Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4#Job 11:17; Ps. 97:11Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5#Ps. 37:26; (Luke 6:35)A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs #(Eph. 5:15; Col. 4:5)with discretion.
6Surely he will never be shaken;
#Prov. 10:7The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7#(Prov. 1:33)He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8His #Heb. 13:9heart is established;
#(Ps. 27:1; 56:11); Prov. 1:33; 3:24; (Is. 12:2)He will not be afraid,
Until he #Ps. 59:10sees his desire upon his enemies.
9He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Psalms 112
112
The Triumph of Faith
1Shout in celebration of praise to the Lord!
Everyone who loves the Lord and delights in him
will cherish his words and be blessed beyond expectation.
2Their descendants will be prosperous and influential.
Every generation of the righteous will experience his favor.
3Great blessing and wealth fills the house of the wise,
for their integrity endures forever.
4Even if darkness overtakes them,
sunrise-brilliance will come bursting through
because they are gracious to others, so tender and true.
5Life is good for the one who is generous and charitable,
conducting affairs with honesty and truth.
6Their circumstances will never shake them
and others will never forget their example.
7They will not live in fear or dread of what may come,
for their hearts are firm, ever secure in their faith.
8Steady and strong, they will not be afraid,
but will calmly face their every foe
until they all go down in defeat.
9Never stingy and always generous to those in need,
they lived lives of influence and honor that will never be forgotten,
for they were full of good deeds.
10But the wicked take one look at a life lived like this
and they grit their teeth in anger, not understanding their bliss.
The wicked slink away speechless in the darkness that falls,
where hope dies and all their dreams fade away to nothing,
nothing at all!
