Psalm 112
Contemporary English Version

God Blesses His Worshipers

1 Shout praises to the Lord!
    The Lord blesses everyone
who worships him and gladly
    obeys his teachings.
2 Their descendants will have
    great power in the land,
because the Lord blesses
    all who do right.
3 They will get rich and prosper
and will always be remembered
    for their fairness.
4 They will be so kind
    and merciful and good,
that they will be a light
in the dark for others
    who do the right thing.

5 Life will go well for those
who freely lend
    and are honest in business.
6 They won't ever be troubled,
and the kind things they do
    will never be forgotten.
7 Bad news won't bother them;
they have decided
    to trust the Lord.
8 They are dependable
    and not afraid,
and they will live to see
    their enemies defeated.
9 (A) They will always be remembered
    and greatly praised,
because they were kind
    and freely gave to the poor.
10 When evil people see this,
they angrily bite their tongues
    and disappear.
They will never get
    what they really want.
