Psalms 112
112
1Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!
2Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.
3Their families#112:3. Literally “house,” but not in the sense of a building, but a family line. will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.
4Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.
5Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.
6They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.
7They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.
8They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.
9They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.
10The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

Psalms 112
112
The Triumph of Faith
1Shout in celebration of praise to the Lord!
Everyone who loves the Lord and delights in him
will cherish his words and be blessed beyond expectation.
2Their descendants will be prosperous and influential.
Every generation of the righteous will experience his favor.
3Great blessing and wealth fills the house of the wise,
for their integrity endures forever.
4Even if darkness overtakes them,
sunrise-brilliance will come bursting through
because they are gracious to others, so tender and true.
5Life is good for the one who is generous and charitable,
conducting affairs with honesty and truth.
6Their circumstances will never shake them
and others will never forget their example.
7They will not live in fear or dread of what may come,
for their hearts are firm, ever secure in their faith.
8Steady and strong, they will not be afraid,
but will calmly face their every foe
until they all go down in defeat.
9Never stingy and always generous to those in need,
they lived lives of influence and honor that will never be forgotten,
for they were full of good deeds.
10But the wicked take one look at a life lived like this
and they grit their teeth in anger, not understanding their bliss.
The wicked slink away speechless in the darkness that falls,
where hope dies and all their dreams fade away to nothing,
nothing at all!
