敬畏上帝者必蒙福

112 你們要讚美耶和華!
敬畏耶和華、樂於遵行祂命令的人有福了!
他的子孫在世上必興盛,
正直人的後代必蒙福。
他的家財豐厚,
他的公義永存。
黑暗中必有光照亮正直人,
照亮有恩慈、好憐憫、行公義的人。
慷慨借貸,
行事公正的人必亨通。
他必永不動搖,
義人必永遠蒙眷顧。
他不怕惡訊,
他堅定地信靠耶和華。
他心裡鎮定自若,毫不害怕,
他終必戰勝仇敵。
他慷慨施捨,賙濟窮人;
他的仁義永遠長存,
他必充滿力量,得享尊榮。
10 惡人見狀,必然惱怒,
咬牙切齒,氣絕身亡。
惡人的盼望必破滅。

The Blessed State of the Righteous

112 Praise[a] the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who (A)delights greatly in His commandments.

(B)His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
(C)Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness [b]endures forever.
(D)Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
(E)A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs (F)with discretion.
Surely he will never be shaken;
(G)The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
(H)He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His (I)heart is established;
(J)He will not be afraid,
Until he (K)sees his desire upon his enemies.

He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His [c]horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
