Psalms 112
112
# 112 This psalm is a Hebrew acrostic poem; after the introductory note of praise, each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. 1Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord
and delight in obeying his commands.
2Their children will be successful everywhere;
an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
3They themselves will be wealthy,
and their good deeds will last forever.
4Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
5Good comes to those who lend money generously
and conduct their business fairly.
6Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
7They do not fear bad news;
they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
8They are confident and fearless
and can face their foes triumphantly.
9They share freely and give generously to those in need.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
They will have influence and honor.
10The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

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!
