PSALM 112
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord. The man is bless'd
that fears the Lord aright,
He who in his commandements
doth greatly take delight.
2His seed and offspring powerful
shall be the earth upon:
Of upright men blessed shall be
the generation.
3Riches and wealth shall ever be
within his house in store;
And his unspotted righteousness
endures for evermore.
4Unto the upright light doth rise,
though he in darkness be:
Compassionate, and merciful,
and righteous, is he.
5A good man doth his favour shew,
and doth to others lend:
He with discretion his affairs
will guide unto the end.
6Surely there is not any thing
that ever shall him move:
The righteous man's memorial
shall everlasting prove.
7When he shall evil tidings hear,
he shall not be afraid:
His heart is fix'd, his confidence
upon the Lord is stay'd.
8His heart is firmly stablished,
afraid he shall not be,
Until upon his enemies
he his desire shall see.
9He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor;
his righteousness shall be
To ages all; with honour shall
his horn be raised high.
10The wicked shall it see, and fret,
his teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
shall utterly decay.

Psalms 112
112
Blessed is the Righteous Man
1Halleluyah! Happy is the man who fears Adonai, who delights greatly in His mitzvot.
2His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4Light shines in the darkness for the upright. Gracious, compassionate and just is he.
5Good comes to a man who is gracious and lends. He will order his affairs with fairness.
6Surely he will never be shaken. The righteous are remembered forever.
7He is not afraid of bad news— his heart is steadfast, trusting in Adonai.
8His heart is secure, he will not fear— until he gazes on his foes.
9He gives freely to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn is lifted high in honor.
10The wicked will see it and be indignant. He will gnash with his teeth and waste away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
