Psalm 112 NIV

    1[a] Praise the LORD. [b]
       Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
       who finds great delight in his commands.

    2 His children will be mighty in the land;
       the generation of the upright will be blessed.

    3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
       and his righteousness endures forever.

    4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
       for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. [c]

    5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
       who conducts his affairs with justice.

    6 Surely he will never be shaken;
       a righteous man will be remembered forever.

    7 He will have no fear of bad news;
       his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

    8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
       in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

    9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
       his righteousness endures forever;
       his horn [d] will be lifted high in honor.

    10 The wicked man will see and be vexed,
       he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
       the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
