Psalm 112

Praise ye the Lord.

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house:
and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:
he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,
until he see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor;
his righteousness endureth for ever;
his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:
the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Prosperidad del que teme a Jehová

Aleluya.

112 Bienaventurado el hombre que teme a Jehová,

Y en sus mandamientos se deleita en gran manera.

Su descendencia será poderosa en la tierra;

La generación de los rectos será bendita.

Bienes y riquezas hay en su casa,

Y su justicia permanece para siempre.

Resplandeció en las tinieblas luz a los rectos;

Es clemente, misericordioso y justo.

El hombre de bien tiene misericordia, y presta;

Gobierna sus asuntos con juicio,

Por lo cual no resbalará jamás;

En memoria eterna será el justo.

No tendrá temor de malas noticias;

Su corazón está firme, confiado en Jehová.

Asegurado está su corazón; no temerá,

Hasta que vea en sus enemigos su deseo.

Reparte, da a los pobres;

Su justicia permanece para siempre;(A)

Su poder será exaltado en gloria.

10 Lo verá el impío y se irritará;

Crujirá los dientes, y se consumirá.

El deseo de los impíos perecerá.

112 Praise Hashem. Ashrei is the ish that feareth Hashem, that delighteth greatly in His mitzvot.

His zera shall be gibbor ba’aretz; the dor (generation) of the Yesharim (upright ones) shall be blessed.

Wealth and osher (riches) shall be in his bais; and his tzedakah endureth forever.

Unto the Yesharim (upright ones) there ariseth ohr in the choshech; he is channun, and rachum, and tzaddik.

A tov ish is generous, and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with mishpat.

Surely he shall never falter; the tzaddik shall be in remembrance olam (forever).

He shall not be afraid of mishmu’ah ra’ah (news of misfortune, evil tidings); his lev is nachon (steadfast), trusting in Hashem.

His lev is samuch (sustained), he shall not be afraid, until he look in triumph upon his foes.

He hath contributed freely, he hath given to the evyonim (needy); his tzedakah endureth forever; his keren shall be lifted up in kavod.

10 The rasha shall see it, and be incensed; he shall gnash his teeth, and waste away; the ta’avot resha’im (desire of the wicked ones) shall come to nothing.
