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
Honest People Are Blessed
1Praise the Lord!
Happy is the person who fears the Lord.
He loves what the Lord commands.
2His descendants will be powerful in the land.
The children of honest people will be blessed.
3His house will be full of wealth and riches.
His goodness will continue forever.
4A light shines in the dark for honest people.
It shines for those who are good and kind and merciful.
5It is good to be kind and generous.
Whoever is fair in his business
6will never be defeated.
A good person will be remembered from now on.
7He won’t be afraid of bad news.
He is safe because he trusts the Lord.
8That person is confident. He will not be afraid.
He will look down on his enemies.
9He gives freely to the poor.
The things he does are right and will continue forever.
He will be given great honor.
10The wicked will see this and become angry.
They will grind their teeth in anger and then disappear.
The wishes of the wicked will come to nothing.
