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.Footnotes:
