Psalm 112
EasyEnglish Bible
God makes his people strong[a]
112 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
When someone respects the Lord with fear,
God has blessed that person!
He is happy to obey the Lord's commands.
2 His children will become powerful in the land.
God will bless their descendants who serve him.
3 His family will have valuable things,
and they will be rich.
People will always remember
the good things that they have done.
4 God's light shines on those who serve him,
even when they are in a dark place.
God blesses those who are kind to others,
and who do what is right and fair.
5 People who are kind and lend money to others,
and who work in an honest way,
will enjoy a good life.
6 Righteous people will never fail.
People will always remember them.
7 They are not afraid to hear bad news.
They are brave,
because they trust in the Lord.
8 Their thoughts are strong
and they will not be afraid.
They know that they will win against their enemies.
9 They give their things to help poor people.
People will always remember
the good things that they have done.
They will be powerful
and people will respect them.
10 When wicked people see this,
they will be angry.
They will show their teeth in anger,
but then they will disappear.
Whatever wicked people want,
they will never get it.

Salmo 112
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Mapalad ang Taong may Takot sa Panginoon
112 Purihin ang Panginoon!
Mapalad ang taong may takot sa Panginoon at malugod na sumusunod sa kanyang mga utos.
2 Ang mga anak niya ay magiging matagumpay,
dahil ang angkan ng mga namumuhay nang matuwid ay pagpapalain.
3 Yayaman ang kanyang sambahayan,
at ang kanyang kabutihan ay maaalala magpakailanman.
4 Kahit sa kadiliman, taglay pa rin ang liwanag ng taong namumuhay nang matuwid,
at puno ng kabutihan, kahabagan at katuwiran.
5 Pagpapalain ang taong mapagbigay at nagpapahiram,
at hindi nandaraya sa kanyang hanapbuhay.
6 Tiyak na magiging matatag ang kanyang kalagayan
at hindi siya makakalimutan magpakailanman.
7 Hindi siya matatakot sa masamang balita,
dahil matatag siya at buong pusong nagtitiwala sa Panginoon.
8 Hindi siya matatakot o maguguluhan,
dahil alam niyang sa bandang huliʼy makikita niyang matatalo ang kanyang mga kalaban.
9 Nagbibigay siya sa mga dukha,
at ang kanyang kabutihan ay maaalala magpakailanman.
Ang kanyang kakayahan ay lalo pang dadagdagan ng Dios upang siyaʼy maparangalan.
10 Makikita ito ng mga taong masama at magngangalit ang kanilang mga ngipin sa galit, at parang matutunaw sila dahil sa kahihiyan.
Hindi magtatagumpay ang naisin ng taong masama.
Psalm 112
Common English Bible
Psalm 112[a]
112 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!
