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.

The Blessed Fear of the Lord
(Psalms 128:1–6)
1Hallelujah!#112:1 Or Hallelu YAH, meaning Praise the Lord. This psalm is an acrostic poem, each line beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in His commandments.
2His descendants 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 dawns in the darkness for the upright—
for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely,
whose affairs are guided by justice.
6Surely he will never be shaken;
the righteous man will be remembered forever.
7He does not fear bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is assured; he does not fear,
until he looks in triumph on his foes.
9He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;#112:9 Cited in 2 Corinthians 9:9
his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10The wicked man will see and be grieved;
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the desires of the wicked will perish.
