Psalm 112
English Standard Version
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!
2 His (D)offspring will be mighty in the land;
(E)the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 (F)Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his (G)righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness (H)for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and (I)righteous.
5 It is well with the man who (J)deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will (K)never be moved;
(L)he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not (M)afraid of bad news;
his (N)heart is firm, (O)trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady;[b] he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 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!

Psalm 112
Living Bible
112 Praise the Lord! For all who fear God and trust in him are blessed beyond expression. Yes, happy is the man who delights in doing his commands.
2 His children shall be honored everywhere, for good men’s sons have a special heritage. 3 He himself shall be wealthy, and his good deeds will never be forgotten. 4 When darkness overtakes him, light will come bursting in. He is kind and merciful— 5 and all goes well for the generous man who conducts his business fairly.
6 Such a man will not be overthrown by evil circumstances. God’s constant care of him will make a deep impression on all who see it. 7 He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. 8 That is why he is not afraid but can calmly face his foes. 9 He gives generously to those in need. His deeds will never be forgotten.[a] He shall have influence and honor.
10 Evil-minded men will be infuriated when they see all this; they will gnash their teeth in anger and slink away, their hopes thwarted.

Zabbuli 112
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Alina omukisa omuntu atya Katonda,
era asanyukira ennyo mu mateeka ge.
2 Abaana be baliba ba kitiibwa mu nsi;
omulembe gw’abalongoofu guliweebwa omukisa.
3 Ennyumba ye enejjulanga ebintu n’obugagga obungi;
era anaabanga mutuukirivu ennaku zonna.
4 (B)Ne mu kizikiza, ekitangaala kyakira omulongoofu,
alina ekisa, n’oyo alina okusaasira, era omutuukirivu.
5 (C)Omuntu oyo agabira abeetaaga, era tawolera magoba,
era akola emirimu gye gyonna n’obwenkanya, alifuna ebirungi.
6 (D)Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa,
era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.
7 (E)Amawulire amabi tegaamutiisenga,
kubanga omutima gwe munywevu gwesiga Mukama.
8 (F)Omutima gwe guteredde, tewali ky’anaatyanga,
era oluvannyuma alitunuulira abalabe be n’amaaso ag’obuwanguzi.
9 (G)Agabidde abaavu bye beetaaga;
mutuukirivu ebbanga lyonna;
era bonna banaamussangamu ekitiibwa.
10 (H)Omubi anaabirabanga ebyo, n’asunguwala,
n’aluma abugigi, naye nga talina kya kukola.
Okwegomba kw’ababi tekuubengako kye kubagasa.
