Psalms 112
1 Praise the LORD! Those who honor the LORD, who adore God's commandments, are truly happy!
2 Their descendants will be strong throughout the land. The offspring of those who do right will be blessed;
3 wealth and riches will be in their houses. Their righteousness stands forever.
4 They shine in the dark for others who do right. They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.
5 Those who lend generously are good people— as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever!
7 They won't be frightened at bad news. Their hearts are steady, trusting in the LORD.
8 Their hearts are firm; they aren't afraid. In the end, they will witness their enemies' defeat.
9 They give freely to those in need. Their righteousness stands forever. Their strength increases gloriously.
10 The wicked see all this and fume; they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing. What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!
