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.

112
The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked
1Praise Yah!#Hebrew hallelujah
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh;
he takes great delight in his commands.
2His descendants#Literally “seed” 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.
4His light rises in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5It goes well for a man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his business properly.#Literally “matters in justice”
6For he will not be shaken forever;
the righteous will be remembered forever.#Literally “will be for an eternal remembrance”
7He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, secure#Or “full of trust” in Yahweh.
8His heart is sustained; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his enemies.
9He gives lavishly#Literally “He distributes freely, he gives” to the needy;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn rises high in honor.
10The wicked#Singular sees it and is vexed.
He gnashes his teeth and becomes weak.#Literally “and melts”
The desire of the wicked#Plural perishes.
