Psalm 112[a]

Praise the Lord.[b](A)

Blessed are those(B) who fear the Lord,(C)
    who find great delight(D) in his commands.

Their children(E) will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches(F) are in their houses,
    and their righteousness endures(G) forever.
Even in darkness light dawns(H) for the upright,
    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(I)
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(J)
    who conduct their affairs with justice.

Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(K)
    they will be remembered(L) forever.
They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast,(M) trusting in the Lord.(N)
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(O)
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(P)
They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)
    their righteousness endures(R) forever;
    their horn[c] will be lifted(S) high in honor.

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)

  3. Psalm 112:9 Horn here symbolizes dignity.

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.

Salig är den som vördar Herren

112 [a][b]Halleluja!
    Salig är den som vördar Herren
        och har stor glädje i hans bud.
[c]Hans ättlingar
        blir mäktiga på jorden,
    de ärligas släkte blir välsignat.
[d]Rikedom och välstånd
        råder i hans hus,
    hans rättfärdighet består för evigt.
[e]För de ärliga går han upp
        som ett ljus i mörkret,
    nådig, barmhärtig och rättfärdig.

[f]Det går väl för[g] den
        som är barmhärtig och lånar ut,
    som sköter sina saker
        med rättfärdighet.
[h]Han ska aldrig vackla,
    den rättfärdige blir ihågkommen
        för evigt.
[i]Han är inte rädd för olycksbud,
    hans hjärta är frimodigt
        och litar på Herren.
[j]Hans hjärta är tryggt
        och utan fruktan,
    till sist får han se sina fiender falla.
[k]Han strör ut, han ger åt de fattiga,
    hans rättfärdighet består
        för evigt.
    Hans horn ska höjas högt med ära.

10 [l]Den gudlöse ser det
        och grämer sig,
    han gnisslar tänder
        och tynar bort.
    De gudlösas begär
        blir det ingenting av.
