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 Righteous Will Never Be Moved

112 [a] (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    who (C)greatly delights in his commandments!
His (D)offspring will be mighty in the land;
    (E)the generation of the upright will be blessed.
(F)Wealth and riches are in his house,
    and his (G)righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness (H)for the upright;
    he is gracious, merciful, and (I)righteous.
It is well with the man who (J)deals generously and lends;
    who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will (K)never be moved;
    (L)he will be remembered forever.
He is not (M)afraid of bad news;
    his (N)heart is firm, (O)trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady;[b] he will not be afraid,
    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has (P)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever;
    his (Q)horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
    he (R)gnashes his teeth and (S)melts away;
    (T)the desire of the wicked will perish!
