Psalm 112[a]

Praise the Lord!

How joyful are those who fear the Lord
    and delight in obeying his commands.
Their children will be successful everywhere;
    an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
They themselves will be wealthy,
    and their good deeds will last forever.
Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
    They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
Good comes to those who lend money generously
    and conduct their business fairly.
Such people will not be overcome by evil.
    Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
They do not fear bad news;
    they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
They are confident and fearless
    and can face their foes triumphantly.
They share freely and give generously to those in need.
    Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
    They will have influence and honor.
10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
    They will grind their teeth in anger;
    they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

Bulahan ang Tawo nga Nagatahod sa Ginoo

112 Dayega ang Ginoo!
Bulahan ang tawo nga nagatahod sa Ginoo
ug malipayon kaayo nga nagatuman sa iyang mga sugo.
Magmauswagon ang iyang mga anak,
kay ang mga kaliwat sa mga tawo nga nagakinabuhi nga matarong panalanginan sa Dios.
Maadunahan ang iyang pamilya,
ug ang iyang kaayo hinumdoman hangtod sa kahangtoran.
Bisan sa kangitngit may kahayag gihapon alang sa mga tawo nga nagakinabuhi nga maloloy-on, may kahangawa, ug matarong.
Panalanginan ang tawo nga manggihatagon, nagapahulam sa uban, ug dili manglimbong.
Dili siya mapakyas sa iyang mga buluhaton,
ug dili siya malimtan hangtod sa kahangtoran.
Dili siya mahadlok sa daotang mga balita,
kay lig-on ang iyang pagtuo ug pagsalig sa Ginoo.
May pagsalig siya ug dili siya mahadlok
kay nasayod siya nga sa kaulahian makita niya nga mapildi ang iyang mga kaaway.
Mahinatagon siya sa mga kabos;
ang iyang kaayo hinumdoman hangtod sa kahangtoran
ug ang iyang katakos dugangan sa Dios isip pagpasidungog kaniya.
10 Makita kini sa mga daotan ug mokagot ang ilang mga ngipon sa kasuko, ug daw mangatunaw sila sa kaulaw.
Ang ilang mga plano dili magmalampuson.

They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)

10 The wicked will see(T) and be vexed,
    they will gnash their teeth(U) and waste away;(V)
    the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(W)
