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.

# Psalm 112 In Hebrew, each line of this psalm begins with the next letter in the alphabet. 1Praise the Lord!
Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord,
who are happy to do what he commands.
2Their descendants will be given power on earth.
Those who do right will be greatly blessed.
3Their family will be very rich,
and their goodness will continue forever.
4A light shines in the dark for those who are good,
for those who are merciful, kind, and fair.
5It is good for people to be kind and generous
and to be fair in business.
6Such good people will never fall.
They will always be remembered.
7They will not be afraid of bad news.
They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
8They remain confident and without fear,
so they defeat their enemies.
9They freely give to the poor.
Their goodness will continue forever.
They will be honored with victory.
10The wicked become angry when they see this.
They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear.
They will never get what they want most.
